10 Things I’m Thankful for + A Challenge
I do something almost every morning. Some would call it a habit. It involves only a few minutes, a pen, and a piece of paper. Can you guess what it is?
A Gratitude List. A list of all that I am thankful for from the previous day. Why a gratitude list? Because I have learned that it’s a discipline to be grateful. A choice to focus on the blessings. With Thanksgiving a couple of days away, I wanted to share about the 10 Things I’m Thankful for.
God's Grace
I am thankful for God’s grace. Every day I need it when I struggle. God continues to lavish His grace on me no matter what I do. What a precious gift!
The Bible
I am thankful for the Bible. It is my favorite book of all time. The Bible is filled with so many promises and truth. It’s my guide each day and a love letter from God to me and each one of you. My prayer is that I never want to take for granted that I own a Bible.
My Husband and Four Children
I am thankful for my husband and four children. They are some of some of God’s greatest gifts to me. I love watching my children grow and am honored to be their Mom.
My Friends
I am so thankful for my friends! Over the years, God has used friends to challenge me, carry me through some hard times and encourage me. I am more like Jesus because of my friends.
My Family
I am thankful for my family. My parents have each passed on so many qualities to propel me in life. My siblings are each gifted in many ways and I am challenged by that. I am thankful for my in-laws and their legacy of love and faithfulness. I am also thankful for Jonathan’s siblings and their families.
Food
I am thankful for food. Those who know me well know how much I love to eat. Burgers are definitely a favorite!
Writing
I am thankful for the ability to write. I am passionate about sharing God's Word. I also love providing resources that encourage overwhelmed moms to prioritize faith, family, and fitness.
Water
One of my favorite places to be is by the water. I especially enjoy being at the beach. There is something so soothing and relaxing about sitting by the water.
Books
I am thankful for books. My love of reading started early in my youth. I used to devour books and sometimes still do. Reading is very life-giving for me so I still carve out time to do it.
My Readers
I am thankful for you, my readers. Thank you for using your valuable time to read my blog and email newsletters. I also really appreciate your support and encouragement.
I really enjoyed writing about what I am thankful for. There are so many more things I could add to this list. There is always something to be grateful for!
