The past few years I believe I've forgotten to do a post with the blessings I did for each day on the Giving Thanks Challenge. On Facebook I posted something I was thankful for each day of the month of November. I LOVED reading the ones that my friends posted too. Usually several will start out the month participating and then drop off. It makes me smile to read what they post each day.
Day 1: Today I am thankful for a walk with my boys in our neighborhood on a pretty day.
Day 2: I am thankful for time outside this afternoon and the sunshine.
Day 3: I’m thankful to have the freedom to vote. Also that the weather was nice for standing in line outside. Glad we had sunshine today instead of ice last Tuesday!
Day 4: I’m thankful for my clothesline my Dad made me for many years ago and that I could use it today.
Day 5: I'm thankful for a wonderful encouragement from my friend this morning with all that is going on to be CALM.....
Celebrate God's goodness
Ask God for help.
Leave your concerns with him.
Meditate on good things.
This is from a book by Max Lucado. God knew I would need the reminder today.
Day 6: Today I am thankful for getting to watch our Bulldogs play. It was our last district game. This season I have learned to be thankful for each game we do get to play because with Covid you never know what will happen week to week.
Day 7: I’m thankful for a walk outside with Titus, enjoying the quiet stillness, looking at the stars, and campfire conversations.
Day 8: I’m thankful for safe travel to and from the deer lease. We had a first for us to go Friday night after the game...we didn’t get there till 2 a.m.
Day 9: Today I am thankful for being able to be a stay at home wife/Mom. This is something that is a huge blessing to me for many reasons.
Day 10: I’m thankful for our Tuesday ladies Bible study. What a blessing these ladies are to me! I love them and value their wisdom and encouragement. And the timing of this lesson was fitting.
Day 11: I’m thankful for a nap. Something I don’t do very often during the week.
Day 12: I’m thankful we got to do the team meal for the football players. I wasn’t sure we were going to after our game got cancelled our original week. Thank you to my Mom for cooking most of the food and making the cupcakes. Love our Bulldogs!
Day 13: I’m thankful for my #60, getting to watch him and teammates play football, for his hard work on and off the field. I’m proud of him. And it made my heart happy to get a hug from him after the game.
Day 14: I’m thankful for a picnic supper at ACU with my boys and ice cream.
Day 15: I’m thankful for my husband and all the ways he loves and supports me. I’m thankful for our marriage, love, and friendship. It is a gift I cherish.
Day 16: I’m thankful for pomegranates.
Day 17: I’m thankful for hearing Titus sing on the way to school this morning. He was singing “Open the eyes of my heart Lord.”
Day 18: I’m thankful for supper in the crockpot.
Day 19: I’m thankful for quilting time and learning new things.
Day 20: I’m thankful for watching squirrels. And it’s cute how Titus gets quiet and tries to sneak up on them.
Day 21: I’m thankful for my boys. 💙💙 There are mixed emotions for this Momma. (I included a picture of their two "school picture" picture frames. They have 13 slots for their pictures. Titus has his first picture and Caleb has one blank left in his!)
Day 22: Today I am thankful for books to read and enjoy!
Day 23: I‘m thankful for online ordering and discounts.
Day 24: I’m thankful for having the boys with me today.
Day 25: I’m thankful for the memories of special people in my life that come to mind associated with certain foods/dishes.
Day 26: I’m thankful to be part of a church body that so beautifully loves its members and the community.
Day 27: I’m thankful for yummy Thanksgiving leftovers and pecan pie.
Day 28: I’m thankful for the sound of rain.
Day 29: I’m thankful for getting out a few Christmas decorations. Titus was excited to get out the “blow ups” for the yard.
Day 30: I’m thankful for learning new things from the Bible.
