We are practicing gratitude with our 30 Things around here. Because every little thing is a gift. It is a reason to give thanks. I am working my way to 1,000 things…because we all need more thankfulness, recognize His gift, big and small, in our life.
Taking account of the little, everyday things in our November thankful jar, written on Popsicle sticks thus far:
- Thankful for snow…the snow is pretty, but wish I didn’t have to drive in it.
- Thankful for two people at work who are on my side when it feels like no one else is.
- Thankful Jesus loves and give me grace everyday.
- Thankful God blesses me, even though I sin. Daily.

- Thankful to relax on weekend and de-compress with a little binge-watching on Netflix.
- Thankful for cheap air flight from KC to DEN so mom will be here for Thanksgiving.
