Giving Thanks Challenge 2019

I think I forgot to copy and paste my list the past couple of years from Facebook onto my blog.  I made a point this year to keep a list so it would be easy to paste it here!

I enjoy participating in this challenge each year on Facebook during the month of November.

Day 1: Today I am thankful for the warmth of the sunshine after a few days of coldness.

Day 5: Today I am thankful for lunch dates with my hubby.

Day 6: Today I’m thankful for making treat bags with my little helper for the football players.

(We’ve gone from 100+ degrees at the beginning of the season to 37 degrees tonight....not sure which temperature I prefer!) I love watching Caleb and hearing the announcer call his name for tackles, and I’ve been so proud of his hard work on the field. I’m thankful for the friends and family that have made the trip to come watch him too. Next up for him is powerlifting and raising chickens.

Have a great day Sydney! Thank you for being you!

Book: 100 days of thanks

About the book:

Focus on the things that bring you joy with 100 Days of Thanks. Short inspirational readings, space to record your thoughts, and brief Scripture references in a high-designed four-color gift book will help you find a peaceful, happier life.

The rush of a busy schedule, a barrage of disheartening news stories, and the wear and tear of everyday life can be enough to drag anyone down. Simply pausing to recognize and express thanks for the good gifts that surround you has proven to make a major difference in happiness, peace, and contentment.

100 Days of Thanks, a beautifully designed inspirational book of short readings, Scripture verses, and journaling space is the perfect tool to promote Christian mindfulness and gratitude. Whether you are looking for a thoughtful gift to encourage a loved one or a simple tool to create a habit of thankfulness, this lovely little book is a wonderful place to start.

Take a few moments out of your day to be grateful and feel your burdens get a little lighter, starting today.

My thoughts:
This book has been just wonderful to read each day.  I have really enjoyed the short devotional thoughts and questions asked to get you thinking how to apply the thought to your own life. 

This little book is beautifully done. The first thing I liked was its size.  The photos throughout really add to the beauty of the book in my opinion. It has a bookmark to keep your place as you read each day.  I found the devotionals gave me a new perspective and caused me to think about being grateful for many new things in my life. (And purple being my favorite color added to my enjoyment of the book!)

I recommend this book.  It would make a nice gift for a friend.

Children's Book: A Very Thankful Prayer + GIVEAWAY

Thankfulness is something very important to me and a characteristic we want to see in our children. Today I have a book called A Very Thankful Prayer by Bonnie Rickner Jensen with illustrations by Natalia Moore.

This is a board book with a fall theme that shares reasons that we can be thankful everyday. The animal characters share things they are thankful for like pumpkin patches, family and Thanksgiving, friends, and colored leaves.

I enjoyed this book and reading it to my 2 year old.  The illustrations are fun, and I like the various animals used including squirrels, bears, rabbits, and mice.

This is a nice book for fall and to have a lesson on thankfulness with your children or grandchildren.  It doesn't matter the day or the season, we can always be thankful!

Be sure to visit this link for a giveaway of this nice book!

You can purchase the book at this link.

I received this book as part of the Frontgate reviewers program for my review. Thank you.

Have a day of blessings!

Thankful for my amazing husband!

It is hard to put into words how thankful I am for my husband.  He has always been such a wonderful husband and friend.  Over the past couple of months though I have realized (over and over and over again) how much more I love him now.  I did not know I could love him more than I already did.  He is such a blessing to my life.  

I know he is hurting too with the loss of our baby, and we sometimes talk about the things we will never get to do with this baby.  He has been so wonderful and done so much to take care of me. 

When I first found out I was pregnant, I was having so many pregnancy symptoms.  He started fixing lunches for himself and Caleb because I could not stand the smells.  He would come home from work to fix supper many days when I was just so tired and hadn't done it.  He stopped at the store to get water for us so I wouldn't have to lift it.  He made sure my car was filled with gas so I didn't have to get gas myself. 

With our loss he has listened as I've shared my hurts and questions, held me as I've cried, wiped my tears, missed work so he could take Caleb to school and pick him up when I couldn't, drove me to doctor appointments because he didn't want me going alone, cleaned the kitchen and bathroom.  I'm sure there has been other stuff too.

I so appreciate his love and support and am thankful God gave me such a husband and best friend.  We will be celebrating 12 years of marriage in less than a month. 

Have a day of blessings!

My year of gifts....

Last year I read the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.  If you haven't read it, you should!  I want to reread it sometime.  On my birthday 2011 I started recording daily gifts in a journal at night before bed.  I have recorded 1982 gifts as of 2-26-12. 

I have gone through and reread this journal of gifts.  It was such a blessing to remember all of these special gifts God has given me through the year.  It brings tears to my eyes as I type that.  I'm so glad God has given me this blessing of recording these gifts and remembering them.  It brought a smile to my face to remember the funny things that were said, the special words of my husband or son, the encouragement of friends, spending time with special people, the growth we've seen in our son. Only God would have known just how much I needed to be reminded of all these gifts from the past year on this night before my birthday after a weekend in which my whole family has been sick. (Thankfully we are on the mend, but it was very stressful overwhelming feeling as we were all  feeling so poorly.) 

I am so blessed on this day and every day.   There are so many things I found repeated through this book; many of your names (my blog friends and family members) are written time and again throughout this book.  Thank you for your friendship and the blessing you are to my life! 

I marked some of the gifts and wanted to share them with you today one year later from starting.  I was going to limit it to 33 as I am turning 33 years old today but I couldn't stop at sharing only 33!

One Thousand Gifts

I watched this video yesterday. It is the trailer for a new book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I listened to an interview with her yesterday too over at Grace Cafe. This sounds like a really good book, and this video is very touching. I encourage you to watch it.

(Also remember to check the post below this one for the Valentine card giveaway.)

I'm so glad it's time for Thankful Thursday once again! This has been a different week because my hubby has been out of town. But it went fast so that is good!

This week I'm thankful for...

~ my sweet husband got to attend his meeting this week, and it ended up he didn't have to stay gone all week like we thought when we first found out about it.

~ my time with my sweet boy this week while Daddy was away. We had a fun time together one night playing with his bicycle (I don't mean riding it, I mean spinning the wheels!)

~ our free mobile-to-mobile cell phone minutes. This has been so wonderful this week! When my hubby first got his cell phone we didn't have this so he called and had them add it. I'm so glad!


~ being able to volunteer at my boy's school.


~ the kind words people have shared with us as they find out we are moving.


Have a day of blessings!
