My friend, Amanda, is blogging each day for the next 30 days, listing things for which she is thankful each day. I think this is such a great idea! What an awesome way to focus on the positive things in life instead of the frustrations. Since I missed the first two days of the month, I figured I would catch up by listing three things (okay, not "things" but "days") today. Who knows? I may love this so much I just keep this going in the future!
Day 1: I'm thankful for a job that I enjoy with great co-workers. I'm thankful that I get a free Y membership with my job and that my boys are able to take swimming lessons with caring teachers. I'm thankful that Caroline's fever finally went away and that I am able to go back to work! I love my children so much, but its very good for all of us to have some time away from each other.
Day 2: I'm thankful for Jack's great first report card and Grant's wonderful preschool teacher. I'm thankful for the people who take care of my baby girl while I work and love her even when she misbehaves by knocking other kids down. I'm thankful for Awana and the Truth that my kids learn each week in the club.
Day 3: After listening to our MOPS speaker today, I can say I am incredibly thankful for ALL of the blessings I've been given both in my past as well as in my present. We heard from a woman who works in a ministry that supports women/moms who come from MUCH different backgrounds and experiences. I'm thankful for a husband who trusts and supports me and is an amazing father to our children. I am thankful for great parents who loved and encouraged me in every way. I'm thankful for my education, a house, clothing, and a stable job. Basically, today I learned just how many blessings I have in my life that I so often take for granted!
