Life In General {30 Days of Thankfulness Day 9}
Today I’m thankful for life in general. It goes by so fast, can end so quickly. Each day is a cherished moment we cannot get back. I’m thankful that I have the opportunity to live, that God has blessed me with as many days as He has, for I know he could come calling at any moment to take me home. I’m thankful for each day with my children, for every moment He allows them to remain here. I hope they live a long life and I do too, so that we are both able to see grandbabies and great-grandbabies and share our great joy and love with them. Life is a wonderful gift and for that I am very thankful.
Someone Who’s Made My Life Worth Living {30 Days of Truth – Day 7}
Today’s truth: Someone who’s made my life worth living for.
Yet another easy one… my three beautiful children. They are my reason for living. I know God gifted them to me to raise and care for. I’m thankful beyond measure for this gift. Without them, I’m sure I’d have other reasons to live but with them my life is so much better. I barely remember life before them and I certainly would not go back there for anything. Every decision I make, every day I rise, every laugh, smile, and tear comes for them. They truly are my life.
Life {Thoughts From me: November 8, 2010}
I missed writing my posts yesterday due to a lot of various things I had going on. I’m planning to catch up on them this afternoon.
Lately the kids and I have been doing a lot of stuff together: cleaning and school and just having fun bonding experiences. They are very excited that Christmas is on the way and after that comes their birthdays. It’s a joy to see them so happy with life.
Personally, I’ve been reading away when I haven’t been busy cleaning up around here. I’ve recently read Passionate Homewives Desperate For God by Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald (review to come). I’m currently reading Grace Based Parenting. I have a list of about 10 books to cover in the next month. My goal is to change my thinking as a housewife, a mother and Christian parent. Already this is happening.
I look at life as the “world” views it, but I fail to see things as God has intended them to be seen. I want that connection to God and that simpliness of Life in my own life. I want them for my children too. I’m changing my “world” view to God’s view and it’s a beautiful and glorious thing! There will be much more talk about these changes in my future as my heart grows in God’s glory.
My children are the most gracious gift God has ever given to me. I am not perfect but in their eyes I’m everything. I love this opportunity that God has blessed upon me. I know that I’m a lucky woman to have been given this wonderful life.
Thankful for Family {30 Days of Thankfulness – Day 6}
Today, I’m truly thankful for my family. For my children. For my Mother, my sisters and my brothers, my neices and my nephews. A year ago I did not know them all and I’m thankful that this year the Lord brought the opportunity for us to know and meet each other. I love my family so much. God has truly blessed me in this.
1 Timothy 5:8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
