Gratitude

"Mommy, I am thankful for you! Mommy, I am thankful for noodles! I am thankful for Ivy! I am thankful!"
I have been reading a blog for some time now and the writer has a community of gratitude. I love that. I think Jesus looked for this in His community. He still does. He wants us to be thankful.
As I battle my wandering heart at time that searches for "the next thing," I see the need to look at what I have and give thanks! I ask Emery and Ivy daily what they are thankful for and many times it is silly 3-year old answers. A heart of gratitude is a great gift even if it is for the mundane.
So, I am joining the community of gratitude and the Hull's will be working on their multitude of thanks including 1000 things to be thankful for by Thanksgiving! In all things give thanks!
