Season of Thanks

Although I am starting this blog well into November, I want to keep a running list of things I am thankful for from now until the end of the year.   (This will be an ongoing post).  Most of what I will be posting will have to do with the things that happen or do not happen as a result of having the Holy Spirit in my life.  It is such a beautiful thing when you can be aware of all of the ways (big or small) that God is working in your life, isn’t it?

November 16th Gillian fell and cut her lip on our kitchen table yesterday.  The angle and depth of the cut was amazing, this little slit on her mouth was deep and bled a lot.  I am thankful that it was not worse than it was. Her face and teeth will be just fine.  We definitely felt Gods presence and protection for our baby girl.

November 17th I got pulled over today for expired tags (WHAT??!!!) How is this a blessing?  Well it happened AFTER I had gotten all of the kids to school.  Also because of today’s technology, the officer was able to look up and see that our tags were in fact current.  I am grateful to this officer for his patience with me and for sending me off without a ticket.  I still do not know what this exercise was about spiritually, but perhaps I will know in the future.

November 19th I am so thankful for my husband.  I am thankful that he is the head of our household and that he is our spiritual leader.  I am grateful that he is willing to lovingly teach me when I fall into sin.  I love that he goes to work each day to provide for our family. I love that our children adore him and how much he loves us.  I love that he is always willing to lend me a hand, shoulder or hug, just when I need it.  I am truly blessed by him.  Thank you Father in Heaven for my blessings.

November 23rd I am so thankful for my family and what each of them brings to my life.  I am so blessed by my husband, children, parents and sister.  God Bless each and everyone in my family.
