Thirty Days of Thankful

My SIL Holly is doing 30 days of Thankful again. I think I should do this, too. I would rather go straight from October 31 to Christmas, but my husband always reminds me that Thanksgiving is a great holiday, too. Usually, it's just extra cooking for me. So, I'm going to follow Holly's example and think of at least one thing to be thankful for each day this month. Since it's already the 3rd, I'll start with three things.

#1...Kissing my husband goodbye every morning. One time, he forgot to say goodbye to me before he went to work, and I had a bummer day all day. I am head over heels for this man, even after 11 1/2 years, and it makes my day when he shows me some love! :)

#2...Family Home Evening. Last night we had family home evening. Jacob wasn't happy about leading the music, Abby wanted to do more than say the closing prayer, and Jackson didn't really like the special smores treat..(what's up with that?). But in the end, we were all in a better mood and played games together. Amazing what happens when we follow the council of our leaders even when it's difficult.

#3...Dad. My dad is retired now, so I can call him whenever I want during the day. It has really been a blessing for me some days when I'm over it all with homeschool and need to vent; and my dad doesn't seem to mind that I call him. It's fun to chat with him and I'm so thankful for this relationship.

So...what are you all waiting for? What are you thankful for this month? Thanks for the reminder Holly.
