I have so much to be thankful for you and the month of November does really snap you back into reality, in my opinion. This time of year brings family closer together - spending time with one another, most of the time in the presence of wonderful food. Let's be honest - we should all thank God that we have a family to spend time with, a home to keep us warm and dry, and food to eat.
I am not near gracious enough. I am not gracious enough for everything that is done for me or given to me. I get to where I'm always looking for someone to thank me for what I did for them but often times, I slip and forget to thank those that are most important to me. So, as I take a time to step back and realize what all I should be thankful for and how I should be gracious that I was able to help someone, with or without a thank you. So I will have my weekly Thankful instead of posting each day as my Facebook status, this way I could really write something!
November 1st: Thankful for the Lord, for which I was able to pray most of the day yesterday to keep me calm. Often times things get us stirred up and the only way for me to really calm myself is to pray. I hope that with His guidance I made the best decisions I could possibly make. For that, I'm thankful for Him.
November 2nd: Today I am thankful for my wonderful and loving Husband. In the mornings he wakes up before most to be able to get ready, make his coffee, and take the dogs outside all before his long drive to work. He sacrifices his sleep so that we can live in the house we live in - for now anyway. He is as quiet as he possible can be to not wake me up so that I can sleep as long as possible. This morning, he took out the trash without being asked or reminded - which made my entire day. It's the little things to be so thankful for.
Be
thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you
concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
