Its amazing what a grateful heart can do. It can change the entire day. A life for that matter.
For me stopping and taking time to name the things that I would normally just shuffle off as givens, allows me to be remember that nothing is really that big! God's got it and I don't have to worry or fret but rest in Him and exude my thanksgiving and praise in HIM and Him alone.
"But seek first the kingdom of heaven and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you" Matthew 6:33
This verse as been written on our chalkboard in our kitchen and I love what Jesus is saying.
So my thankfuls...
1. friends that moved in nearby (we get to see so much more of them these days)
2. our church
3. a date day with some of our bestest friends, love the time we got to spend together - watching the game, eating Georges.
4. nuggles and tisses from sage man
5. the sides our kids take - boys vs girls already and we are slightly outnumbered.
6. spending time with our cousins

8. chilly mornings and warmer afternoons
9. hot chocolate w/marshmallows and slippers
10. a fun win filled volleyball season - WPRD Champs this year (after losing three years in a row)
