Gratefulness

October 21, 2012 by Debbie 1 Comment

Noah taped this message to our front door a few weeks ago.
it’s still there.
he made one for the back door too.
smile.
I plan to leave it there.
forever.
such a reminder to me that even on our toughest days, we have so many blessings to be thankful for in this life.
family.
love.
acceptance.
laughter.
kids.
little hand-made notes.
messy rooms that remind me our house is very well lived in.
grace.
friends.
freedom.
When you find yourself starting to complain, like I did this morning, remember, there are probably a million or more people in this world who would gladly line up to trade problems with you today.
choose gratefulness.
He is good.

If I could, I’d offer you a cup of coffee and would love a chance just to sit and talk, to hear your stories about life – the joys and the struggles too.

In whatever you’re facing today, my heart is that you might find some encouragement through these pages and fresh hope in God’s words ...
