So Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and it is always tradition to reflect on what I am thankful for. Of course there are the “traditional” answers…of course I am thankful for my amazing savior Jesus, family, church, friends, home, food, clothing, etc. Those are all givens. But it is the specific, sometimes labeled “little things”, that really stirs my heart toward thankfulness and joy. The specifics like: that I am thankful that Jesus has and is teaching me about viewing others more significant than myself and showing me where I am selfish…so basically I am thankful that God continually works on my heart. I’m thankful for the way my husband and I are laughing more together than we have ever laughed before…I mean good laughing…the kind that makes you cry. I’m thankful for my new friend Rachel that gives me an avenue to share life experiences and truth from the bible. I’m thankful for accountability from Hannah Joy, Stephanie, Maria, and Gayle to pursue a godly and purposeful life in Christ. I’m thankful for the beauty of the colorful leaves and the warm sunshine mixed with cool breezes when I walk with Rebekah in the mornings. I’m thankful for the “mommy skills” that Rebekah has picked up from me.
I could go on and on. What are the specifics you are thankful for? Please do share!
God’s faithful provision in my life!
