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?
Today I am thankful for a warm home. It is cold and extremely windy today (winds at 28mph) but inside it is calm and warm, even without the heater running yet. What are you thankful for today?
Today I am thankful for windows, and that I have a view of the sky from inside my house. It is a beautiful morning and I can see it from my bed. That has not been possible in most places that I have lived. What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful I was able to work on a gift today! I know I’m going slower because of my fall, but I am still determined to finish gifts this month. Here’s a preview of what I was working on today: What are you thankful for today?
Today, I am thankful for the extra help that Wren and Ezrom gave me in the garden and cleaning in the library. What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful for a soft bed to sleep in at night when I go to bed, totally exhausted after getting everyone to bed, including the baby. It’s so nice to rest after a long day. What are you thankful for today?
Today I am grateful that I can see the sky out the window from my bed. It was nice to get to look at the clouds while resting. I haven’t aways been able to do that where I’ve lived and I am grateful for that. 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.
My 13 year old granddaughter was diagnosed with eplipisy a couple months ago..She had to go back to the children’s hospital yesterday and be checked to see if the meds were working.. I am so thankful for the test to come back normal.. I thank God.
