So...this past Sunday our church did something I have never seen before. They opened the floor to the members and when someone felt led to, they would go up to one of the microphones and tell everyone what they are thankful for and how God has blessed them this year.AH-MAZING!!! It was so awesome to hear people share their stories, the good and the bad. I know for me, it is so easy to dwell on all that goes wrong in life and pout about everything I don't have. Ha, talk about a kick in the bo-tay! I have decided to start a prayer journal for a year and I am really excited about it. I love looking back and seeing how God has answered my prayers and prayers of others. I love seeing the dilemmas and drama we thought was so important and the simpleness in Gods plan. I can't wait for next Sundays sermon about Christmas and how it has become a consumer driven holiday now and how Christ is fading from our hearts in this season.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and please remember to be thankful for all the little things in life that are so easy to overlook.
What I am thankful for
I am beyond thankful that I have beautiful daughter who will play in the rain with me
I am so thankful that I have a husband who loves me even when my craziness hits an all time high
I am forever grateful for my friends and my girls night outs(to which I would be even more crazy than my already craziness with out this)
And there are no words for how thankful I am for my Father who loves his children beyond what I can ever imagine
