Thankfulness Re-Cap

I wanted to post these, because I'm sure I'll have days ahead where I'm not very thankful, so I can go back and read these and remember all I'm  truly blessed with!

30 Days of Thankfulness Re-Cap
Day 1: I'm thankful to be loved by God, who's mercy, grace, love and forgiveness I receive every day, despite being so unworthy.

Day 2: So very very thankful to have spent 8+ years as Sams wife, and to know we have forever. Day in and day out, he's my most favorite person ever. We're lifers.

Day 3: Thankful for my 2 boys and growing baby girl. Thankful My heart has grown each day for these kiddos.


Day 4: Thankful for naps on Sundays!

Day 5: - (This was an exceptionally trying day, so I had to think very hard! )
Thankful for Alex's teeth....even when he's cutting two at one time and is so miserable, I know it means he's growing and healthy! Double whammy today....also thankful for our bathtub. Even when Alex falls in it, and splits his lip, I know I'm blessed by that bathtub that I can freely fill with clean water every day (sometimes twice!) to wash my babies in.

Day 6: Thankful for the right to vote! Thankful my faith is not held in the person who hold a political office, but in The One who holds the world in His hands.

Day 7: Thankful I can park my car in the garage on chilly nights!

Day 8: So Thankful for my co-workers who are selfless, hardworking and generous. I'm blessed by them daily.


Day 9: thankful for Sam's mom Teresia, who selflessly gave up her Friday night so Alex could stay with her!

Day 10: thankful to my Dr. who said caffeine in moderation was completely safe for new baby! Savoring a much needed cup of joe this morning!!


Day 11: Thankful for naps on Sundays...this will be a recurring theme.

Day 12: Thankful for the women I've met in Rejoice, and for the welcome I received! Sad that it's over, looking forward to January already!

Day 13: Thankful for the Godly Haitian visitors we were able to host this weekend in our home. Our conversations, and their prayers have blessed me immensly. God is so good, all the time!

Day 14: Thankful to Kelly Nicole Langford and how she pours into Alex when she's with him and takes such great care of him!


Day 15: Thankful for the hour my child was still enough to enjoy a Praise concert! And for carrot rice cakes, they helped!

Day 16: My heart is full of thankfulness for our oldest. I've grown and learned more from him than he could learn from me in a lifetime!
 
 
Day 17: Thankful for a great night with friends, and another UGA win. Thankful for Mark Richt, not thankful for Derek Dooley.
