Today I’m thankful for my sweet children–for their love and affection, for their giggles, and for their tears, that remind me that all things shall pass; that we overcame the things that were hard for us as children, just as we will get past the things that are hard for us as adults.
I’m looking forward to helping the children with their schoolwork tomorrow. Here’s to hoping that everyone understands all of it!
What are you thankful for today?
I’m grateful that my husband was able to find conduit to run wires today to run to the sprinkler boxes and to run to these lampposts. He had to go to multiple stores before he found any, and we were worried that our project would be delayed. What are you grateful for today?
Today, I’m thankful for a referral from a friend for a last-minute photo shoot of some friends of hers! What are you thankful for today?
Today is the last day of this series. I had something planned to write, but then today went differently, starting with a call this morning from my mom from the hospital. My parents are home now, and I’m grateful that my dad is going to be fine. What are you thankful for today?
“Enough is as good as a feast.” Caroline Ingalls I am thankful to have enough. We’ve had some rather large extra expenses this week with more to come, but I am thankful to have enough of what we need. What are you thankful for today?
I am thankful for the scent of Meyer lemon blossoms that permeate the air when I go into the garden. What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful my little brother is safe from the fires that are so near where he lives right now. What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful for the gift of my loving, sweet husband who has endured all that I have brought to him and continues to love me unconditionally. I’m thankful for his patience, his understanding, his support, and his friendship. I’m thankful he was chosen for me.
I am thankful that I can decide how my day will look. I had an annoying headache all day yesterday and I’m slow to get my day started today because of it. I’ll get my work done, just in a different order than originally planned.
I am thankful for prayer. I am grateful to know that I can begin my day and end my day talking with the one person who always understands and who will never fail me.
I am thankful that my son had probably the best basketball game of his life, scoring more than half the teams points, and even though they ultimately lost he had a Christlike attitude. Another coach came to me after the game and completed him on his exemplary behavior on the court. He attends a Christian school so of course that is the greatest compliment of all for our players. He is such a blessing to us. Can’t take the credit ,he just came out that way 🙂
I am so thankful today for beautiful weather in the 60’s. It gives me one more day to finish getting ready for the snow coming our way on Thursday.
I am thankful that two of my daughters phoned to talk to me. They are grown and busy with lives of their own, but it was lovely to talk with them both.
Thankful for my health and the health of everyone in my family.
I’m thankful for the last produce from my summer garden before it freezes tonight. Had enough tomatillos for 2 quarts of green salsa. I will cover my plants in buckets to see if they survive.
I’m thankful for my neighbours. We are one of two families with children on our street. Every Halloween we take it in turns hosting a party for the kids, and as part of that we go trick or treating. Since it’s not a tradition here, I always go around beforehand and give candy to the neighbours whose houses will visit. The neighbours are so generous, and always supplement it with more of their own, so that, although we only visit 5 homes, the kids always come away with a nice little stash. One of these neighbours is Jehovah’s Witness; but she still insists on participating, because it makes the kids so happy. A lovely couple is in the process of building a home on the street; they’ve already said they want trick-or-treaters next year. I love knowing that my children are growing up with neighbours who care about them. We live on several acres, and my kids, who are still young, never leave the yard on their own; but I love knowing that as they grow up and become more independent, they will be surrounded by neighbours who will watch out for them. I’ve never lived in a community like this before; and I am so grateful that I do now.
In honour of Remembrance Day (celebrated in Canada) and Veterans Day (celebrated in U.S.) I am thankful for the sacrifices made by so many to ensure the Freedoms most of us take for granted today.
My husbands grandfather fought in WWII where he fought to liberate of Holland from Nazi occupation. My husband’s grandmother was a war bride from Holland. I am also thankful they met.
