So very thankful

a thankful heart hath a continual feast. ~W.J. Cameron

There are so many things to be thankful for; some things are obvious and automatic, while sometimes we have to be very intentional about recognizing our blessings- especially when times are hard and our eyes get blurry. I want to live my life seeking the blessings that can be found in all circumstances and living with a heart that is overflowing with thankfulness and gratitude.
I am thankful...


For the husband of my youth. 10 years of marriage and we still hold hands on the couch and stay up late talking. I am thankful for his servant heart and devotion to our family, for his hard working hands and leadership in our household.


For sweet big brothers, quiet moments, the sun shining into our living room and giving warmth.


For brothers that are friends.


For wild boys that bring so much excitement to our lives.


For a sweet little girl who likes to dance and sing. She is the joy, joy, joy, joy down in our hearts...


For loved ones who have passed away, but are very much still with us.


For time spent outdoors in God's good creation.

and so much more...
