Thankful Thursday

All day today, I have been SO grateful. Since my feet hit the floor at 6 a.m. (actually when I was sleeping in the floor next to Abby at 4 a.m.), I have had an overwhelming since of gratitude invade my heart for the blessings that my heavenly Father lavishes on me! I am so glad that when I get too busy to be thankful that the Holy Spirit guides me right back to where I need to be. In the spirit of a thankful heart, I wanted to write - not necessarily for your benefit - but primariy for mine. I feel inclined to share some of the random things that I am so profoundly grateful for this day. Obviously, it is not all-inclusive, but if I may extend the offer - feel free to share with me as well what you are thankful for today.

Thanks be to God that I...

...have a messy house full of messy children;

...drove a car that got me to work and home today safely;

...had money to go to the grocery store;

...live with a husband that loves the word of God;

...can say that everyone in my home is healthy today;

...had dreams develop in my heart today

...know He is not finished with me yet;

...can go camping with my family tomorrow;

...have never known what it truly is to be hungry or alone;
