A Month of Thankfulness

It's the month to be thankful (one of my favorites). After the girls went to bed last night, I dug out my Thanksgiving plate and displayed it in the kitchen.

This is one of my favorite months and with all the busyness going on in our home, I know I'll have to be purposeful to see the beauty in the midst of the mundane.

Tonight we'll start our paper chain and hopefully add to it all month. I love to watch it grow and so do my children. I'm going to do the same on this blog ... a short post of what I'm thankful for on that particular day. These will be more for me, I guess, as I ask God to turn my heart towards that which is good .... focusing on how truly blessed we are!

Today I'm choosing two things since I didn't start on the 1st yesterday (off to a great start, right?)

I'm thankful for my bible study group! (I would post a picture of the group here, but I fear they would kill me). I truly love these ladies and enjoy the time we are together.

This particular study is stretching me (goodness, it can be tough), but I love how we're all enjoying learning so much.

I'm also thankful for my brother, John Patrick!

Eric has been traveling so much. With all the things we've had going on lately (teacher's meetings, gymnastics, dr. appointments, etc.) I have had to rely on him to help me out with pick ups, etc. He has been great about it and has helped me with tremendous burdens lately. (Is it sick that I am thankful he hasn't found a full-time job since graduation? Don't answer that. I'm pretty sure he isn't thankful for that one :)
