Thankful Thursday: Entitlement or Riches

Today we are meeting at Spiritually Unequal Marriage (I misspell unequal every time!) for Thankful Thursday and this week's theme is "Entitlement or Riches."

This struck me as I was reading Lynn's post....."Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with our current circumstances and forget the riches right before our eyes."

Has this every happened to you? I'm sure it has at some point. It's easy to forget how much we have when we're focusing only on the things we think we deserve or the things we don't have at the time. Lynn goes on to write that a way to combat those feelings God's way is to serve. What ways do you have of serving others?

This week I am thankful for many things. Here is my list:

~ sweet words of my husband. This week on the phone it made me smile for him to say I was a blessing. It makes me smile now to think of him telling me that.

~ good reports from school of our sweet boy. When he was put in the car Wednesday afternoon the lady told me he got nominated again. This is his third time. He said this time was for doing what he was supposed to be doing in the lunch room. It makes my heart happy! He gets to choose a prize of a tattoo or a free meal at Chick fil a when he's nominated. He picks chicken. :)

~ my dental appointment on Tuesday...no root canal needed. You can read about it in the post before this one.

~ our wonderful day together at home on Monday without work or school. It was so nice to do things with Caleb from our "before school" routine, like "book nook."

~ the cool weather. It was chilly this weekend and we needed jackets. I love getting comfortable in my robe and fuzzy socks!

Hope your week has been blessed. Thanks for stopping by today! You are special.

Have a day of blessings!
