30 Days of Thankfulness: Days 4 & 5





Day 1 - I have to start with my Lord, Jesus Christ. Without Him I am nothing. I am constantly amazed that He gave His life for a sinner like me. What more could He give? In this season I feel Him close, holding my heart. Comforting. Gently leading me to show His compassion and love as best I can. 


Day 2 - TheraFlu. No joke. We've been down with a super bug in our house. It's only been a handful of times in our 12 years together that I've seen Brian this ill. I am thankful we live in a country where within one mile of our house there is a store with medicine on the shelves. And that we have a way to pay for it!


Day 3 - My family. I love them with all my heart. Being a wife and mother is my greatest joy!


Day 4 - Grateful for my church, all the people who give tirelessly to make it a wonderful place to call home and the dedication of our new Calvary Life Center this morning.

Day 5- I'm grateful we live in a country where everyone's vote counts - even if I may not agree with the outcome. Praying we respect the democratic process today and in the weeks to come.

More to come! We are still sick but packing up for a short business trip Brian has. It is close enough that he wants the family to come with. I am either in love or crazy...probably both. With just three hours sleep I am packing away! 

Hugs and Blessings, 
Michelle

30 Days of Thankfulness



Welcome November! I love this, my birthday month that I share with my twin sister Melissa, my sister Angela and my niece, Kiersten! We have so much to be thankful this month and so I am joining other bloggers in capturing my 30 days of thankfulness. 

Day 1 - I have to start with my Lord, Jesus Christ. Without Him I am nothing. I am constantly amazed that He gave His life for a sinner like me. What more could He give? In this season I feel Him close, holding my heart. Comforting. Gently leading me to show His compassion and love as best I can.

I am thankful we live in a country where within one mile of our house there is a store with medicine on the shelves. And that we have a way to pay for it!


Day 3 - My family. I love them with all my heart. Being a wife and mother is my greatest joy!









What about you? What are you thankful for today? I'd love to hear!
