thoughts on Thanksgiving...

Hey y'all,

So, Thanksgiving's in less than a week!  My mom challenged or said that we should journal each night or day during the week up to Thanksgiving, so Thursday the 20th to the 27th.  I'm going to go ahead and just do it here.  I'll start with Thursday and do Friday and Saturday.

Thursday: I am thankful for underarmor to keep me warm and hamburger soup that my mom made!  Also, for a car to get me to soccer practice.

Friday:  I am thankful for coffee at work, a car to get to work, and nice coworkers!  Also, for family and friends who come to my soccer games!

Saturday: (well the day's not over yet, but that's ok) I am thankful for friends!  Also, for food to eat and family! (even when there are difficulties)

Verse for now: "Enter [H]is gates with thanksgiving and [H]is courts with praise; give thanks to [H]im and praise [H]is name." -Psalm 100:4

Wonderful thought and perspective. I bet you can come up with 30 things to be thankful for before Thursday! (How's that for alliteration?)

One of our family's Thanksgiving traditions- we make placemats and write what we are thankful for on them. This year I am going to fill up the whole thing! And it will be easy, with so many things to be thankful for!

Your dad challenged us today in Sunday School to be thankful for the little things- rocks, trees, mornings, sunsets.
