Robin has a great idea! Post every day, in the month of November, something that you are thankful for. I, too, love November and the Thanksgiving holiday. Taking time to reflect on the great things in your life is what we all need to do. This month actually gives us "permission" to do that!
There are so many things in my life that I am thankful for. Right now I am thinking about my kids. I am so thankful for two really good kids. They are actually young adults but they will always be my kids, no matter how old they get. David and Joy are the lights of my life. I cannot imagine how my life would have been without their smiles, tears, accomplishments and disappointments. These days I see them less and less. Between their work hours and my need for sleep, most days I do not see them. I try to wait up for them to come home, but my morning begins much earlier than theirs does, so I end up going to bed without seeing them. But, on the rare chance that we are all at home at the same time, it is glorious. David is cracking jokes, Joy lights up the room with her smile and we all feel blessed.
So, my pick for today--my kids! I am so thankful that God blessed me with them.
Anyone else want to blog each day about the things in your life you are thankful for? Just think, if we all did this, what positive energy we could produce!
