Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I have so many things to be thankful for. This week my children and I are going to list 10 different things, each day, we are thankful for.
My list for today: Wash Machine & Dryer, Freedom to Worship Christ, Husband, Dependable Vehicle, New Socks, 60+* November Day, Children, Big Yard, Good Health, Friends
Then I am going to dig a little deeper into their brains and ask them why they choose the 10 (on that specific day) they did. I am sure there will be plenty of giggles, goofie answers and orneriness, but the point I am hoping to drive home is, 'no matter what is going on in our lives, we always have something to be thankful for'. On my list today I said I was thankful for new socks, do I always have new socks to wear? Of course not, but I love the way new socks feel on my feet. I also said my washer and dryer. I don't often think how blessed I am to have those two items. I am so thankful I don't have to go to the laundry mat to do laundry or scrub them in a creek!
When we take the time to be thankful for what we have instead of lusting after the things we don't have, our perspective is changed.
How about you?

Love your 10 things you're thankful for list. I might need to borrow that idea so we can look at the positives right now.
Thanks for visiting my blog, your menu plan looks yummy as well!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! After reading your little blurb about yourself, it sounds like we have lots in common. Our loves of Christ and ice cream are two of them! :) Your meal plan looks awesome. Have a great week!
Love your thankful list. Too often we do focus on what we don't have and forget all of the wonderful things we have in our lives. Your menu sounds great! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I'm thankful that I still get to homeschool in California...Thank God!
