Happy Thanksgiving!

"Oh give thanks to The Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!" -1 Chronicles 16:8

Over the month of November, we've been talking about thankfulness with our kids. At breakfast, we've each been sharing something we're thankful for...the ideas have been awesome. Our girl has been thankful for bees, the tree in our front yard, her pajamas, the pictures on the wall, among others. It is awesome each morning to ask her what she's thankful for and to hear her answer instantly. It is a beautiful reminder to be thankful for everything...even what often goes unnoticed.

Cliff has also been taking us through a variety of Scripture related to thankfulness. It has been really encouraging to talk about these with the kids and reflect on how my heart isn't inclined to thankfulness. It is so easy to complain, but when I stop and pray, the Holy Spirit is faithful to remind me of all the many blessings in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving!
