Day 7- My work

7. Today, I'm thankful for my job. I have been blessed with the incredible opportunity to work from my home which allows me to help with our finances, and still commit to taking care of my kids. I have been working at Green Dog Enterprises for 4 1/2 years now, and I have learned more than I ever thought possible. It has opened my eyes to my own abilities and stretched me to grow in so many ways.

Thanks, Pam!

Day 6- Jesus

Above anything else, I'm most thankful for Jesus. I'm so humbled by his unfailing love. I've been blessed with the incredible gift of freedom from my past, from shame, from sin, from death. I live everyday knowing that His love will never leave me. His loves goes beyond anything I could ever imagine. Thank you, Jesus, for loving me enough to die for me.

Day 5- My hubs

I'm thankful for my husband. I'm so thankful for his love for me and our children. I thankful that he gets up every morning to work hard to provide for us. That he sets aside time to play with our kids. I'm thankful for his humor and that he can ALWAYS make me laugh. Despite the hard times we have been through, no one could have supported me, loved me, and held me up better than him. Love you, babe!

Day 4- Seasons

4. Today, I'm thankful for the rain. Although it doesn't rain much here is sunny California, I'm so glad that the rain washes away the dirt and muck, and will nourish and bring forth new growth in the spring. I'm thankful for new seasons, and for change. I love knowing that even during the difficult seasons of life, a new season will come and bring new changes. Sometimes those changes are uncomfortable at first, but after learning to adapt and accept the change there are new lessons to be learned.

I'm thankful for my home, the roof over my head and protection from outside storms. I'm thankful I have a place to go when life gets tough, a place where I have open arms waiting to comfort me and support me.

Day 3- Laundry

I have been contemplating what to write today. Summing up everything I am thankful for in just 30 days made me realize how MUCH I have. While sitting on the floor, surrounded by piles of laundry (which had been put off for a while...), I realized I'm thankful for just that. The PILES of laundry. Seems silly, but while doing a chore I hate- I'm thankful that I have clothes. I'm thankful I can send Gavin to school in clean clothes that fit. I'm thankful that when Lincoln dumps his cereal on his head, he has something else to put on. It's definitely time to stop complaining and think. I could have nothing.

Perspective.

Day 2- My Children

2. Today I'm thankful for my two beautiful children. I'm thankful they are healthy. I'm thankful for their smiles. I'm thankful they fill my home with more laughter and love than I could ever imagine.

30 Days of Thanksgiving

Because there are way too many things in my life that I take for granted, and I want to be reminded how blessed I am...

1. I'm thankful for all my past experiences that have shaped me into the person I am.  I'm thankful for my current struggles because I know those will grow me into a better person.  And in the midst of the difficulties, His grace will always be enough.
