I joined the Gratitude Community about a month ago, but had not received confirmation. Actually, I still haven't received it, but I'm forging ahead anyway. Winter can be very long and dull here. (Especially when the first snow storm arrives in the middle of November). I have a hard time getting through it sometimes. The Gratitude Community is a marvelous way for me to find joy in the everyday things.
So here are some of my gratitudes for this week:
1. We managed to get through our first week back to school without any major hurdles.
2. A beautiful sunny day for visiting the creek.
3. Awakening to fresh snow several mornings.
4. Children and a dog who let us sleep in until 8:30 on Saturday!!
5. Tasty and healthy whole foods. No more junk food!
6. Lots of fellowship with church family.
What are you thankful for this week?
I joined this awhile back and it is amazing how, when you dwell on things to be thankful for your whole attitude changes. Thank you for this reminder. I am going to try to put up another gratitude post this week. I know this will help for the long winter months. :o)
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for His Word... I know that sounds typical but it has really, really helped me this week to just meditate upon it. I am reading the book of James right now, and it has been so good for me.
The book of Jame is amazing. So much wisdom and food for thought! I am attempting to memorize portions of it. However, I am not a good memorizer:( so I'll see how much I learn.
ReplyDeleteI actually memorized it back in high school but have forgotten many parts of it. Short term memory, you know, just to pass the grade!
ReplyDeleteI have another award for you! Come on by. :o)
