Grateful

I’ll admit I have been over here putting up Christmas trees, and stringing lights and preparing gifts for mailing BUT that doesn’t mean I am skipping Thanksgiving. I am just being proactive in all the Christmas prep.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving. We actually have a couple of people who are going to get to join us this year and that is very exciting. We also have so much to be grateful for.

I am trying this week to thank God more than I petition God. Literally, I call on Him all day long…..when someone pops in my mind or I see or hear something that reminds me to pray about/for something. I ask often and lots. Listen, I know God doesn’t mind. I know He delights in hearing from His children. I will still be doing that, but I want to try to send up some additional thanks. There’s so very much all day, every day to say thanks for. And while I may feel overall grateful, I want to verbalize it.

By the way, I want you to know I am very thankful for you…..each of you! I know how busy we all are and you all are so sweet to pop over here and check in. And I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your comments, emails and texts. You all are the absolute best and I am very thankful for you.

I am going to take the rest of the week off and bake sweet potatoes and make casseroles and make bread, cakes and pies. I hope you enjoy the week however you spend it.

See you back next week!
