Octavius November The Prudent Homemaker 

I’m thankful that even though my youngest decided that 3:40 a.m. was the perfect time to be up for the day, I was able to take a nap at the same time he did later in the day.

What are you thankful for today?

I was so glad to be at a dinner honouring a couple who for years have ministered to so many, particularly in their work with a soup kitchen over 15 years.These are truly two of the most humble people I have ever met. What a special occasion to acknowledge our gratefulness for all they done and how they model it with such grace. I am thankful for what I learn from them at each opportunity we meet.

  8. I am thankful for the precious cuddles I had with our youngest furry cat baby, Albert, yesterday (Nov 7). Nothing more relaxing than coddling a soft, warm, purring kitty like a little baby in your arms, as they gently squirm and knead in pure pleasure from your touch.

    Today I am thankful for good medical care here in the USA. Today, my niece needed to be seen, due to an ear ache she developed in the night. They got her in this morning, and she is now on the antibiotics she needs. We are reading a wonderful book, “Daring to Hope”, which is the sequel to “Kisses From Katie” for homeschool right now. It tells about a woman who cares for children, and hurt and sick people in Uganda. It is difficult for them to get the proper medical care there, as we know….but it really drove the lesson home when we read our chapter this morning, and then headed off to the doctor right afterwards. There was a small co-pay, in Uganda, you must pay before they will even start treating you….We waited an hour (they appologized)–in Uganda, you may wait days, We drove there in our car, they may have to walk miles…and so on. I have much to be thankful for. (BTW, I highly recommend these books–so inspiring).

  18. I am thankful that I met a beautiful woman today who was applying for a loan for school and who is the epitome of inner strength and an inspiration. I am thankful that we will probably be able to help her.

    I am thankful that there are children. It is a beautiful photo, Brandy. I hope you get more sleep tonight.

    I am thankful for a friend who drove me a long distance to have an echocardiogram and then will drive me back to return some medical testing equipment. I am glad I didn’t break anything when I fell.

  19. I am grateful for full supermarkets. I know in parts of the world that food is hard to come by. I was able to get our Thanksgiving turkey (21 lbs) for $6.19. Turkeys are on sale for 39 cents a pound and I had a $2 off next shopping order coupon. I will try to get another one this week as an extra.
