I am reading a book on how worship changes everything...it lets us see the heart of God and helps us to focus on Him in everything we do. Thanksgiving is a part of worship...recognizing God and what He has done for us through Jesus. Worship with me!

Emery found Daddy's trombone...

Emery and Uncle Steve...a favorite!
You are special to our family Uncle Steve!!!
Ivy loves to read....precious!
Here are some fun pics of the girls that I have taken recently. We have been having lots of fun at home because they have been sick with a persistent cough. The Lord has been so gracious during this time as it seems lots of people have had sickness. I do have my continual list of thanksgiving going on but I will add it another day when I haven't been uploading pics for an hour!

Reality
As I got into bed last night I told Andy about our gratitude commitment and he said "that is 30 things a day!" Oh my! We laughed and laughed as we thought about how realistic it was to do that. Although we could agree that it could be done! So, I am going to change my goal and maybe by Valentine's Day is a better finish line. I am up to the challenge!
I have already thought of several: (these are the obvious and we will just get them out of the way!)
1. Jesus...I could really elaborate on this one but He is what keeps me going!
2. Andy, my dear husband. He is a man who sees and savors Jesus and wants nothing more than to be like him. I love who I am when I am with him and I love who he makes me want to be!
3. Emery Suzanne, my first miracle and promise from God. You are truly a joy to my heart. Your life gives Glory to Him and you bring smiles on faces and I pray you do all of your days
5. Ivy Clare, my second miracle. Your life has changed our life and you add happiness to our family as your precious smile lights up the room. You are love and you keep lovin' on your Mama.
6. Miracles...I do believe
Okay...that is enough for today as I am overwhelmed and am having a hard time typing through the tears. I know being thankful is good, but if you wanna feel good and get in the presence of God start writiing it down and join the gratitude community (www.aholyexperience.com). Now I am going to have to go and worship Jesus to thank Him for this!
7. (from Emery)"I am thankful that Jack didn't run away in the rain. (he gets scared when it rains sometimes)

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!
