Thankful Thursday

It's time to pause once again for Thankful Thursday.  This month we are meeting at Grace Alone.

It feels like time is going to fast.  Yesterday I was super busy running errands in town.  My husband called to say he was going home.  He had not been feeling well for a couple of days with allergies, and he decided to go home to rest.  I had gone by the grocery store as my last stop to pick up a couple of items.  I knew I wouldn't have time to take the milk home though before I went to pick up Caleb.  So when he called me I asked if he'd stop and let me meet him to give him the milk to take home.  I waited for him at a park.  It was nice to just stop and be still for a few moments.  I watched the ducks eat from the ground and then fly up and over to the pond.  I enjoyed sitting in the sunshine as the snow from earlier in the week melted.  It was a nice break in my day. 

Today I'm thankful for...
~  time with my husband last weekend going to the Casting Crowns concert.  We had such a great time!

~  making Christmas muffins with my boy.  We had fun mixing them up together.  It was a recipe I'd found on another blog earlier this year and printed to use this holiday season.  I can't remember where I found it though!

~  waking up to a beautiful snowy morning earlier this week.

~  decorating our house for Christmas.  We enjoyed choosing a tree and getting out our decorations.  I'm so thankful to be here this year! 

~  getting Christmas cards in the mail.  We have received 4 so far.  I am still working on writing ours to get them mailed out. 

Have a day of blessings!

Time with the hubby is always a blessing and I so enjoy watching birds. I find them fascinating and take pictures often. I've been working slowly on my cards. I should take time and finish them today -- thanks for the reminder :)

Blessings!
