Thankfulness Day #2

As I sit here quietly(well almost anyway) I reflect on how many things I truly have to be thankful for.  I have a friend from NJ who was excited to find a gas station with gas today and is still struggling to find a hotel that is will allow her to bring her furry family member since vacancy's are few. I think of how my husband is working late, but how many women have there husbands out there who are overseas and don't come home at night, or those who's husbands can't find work. Surely I have been blessed in so many ways that are overlooked daily, but today.... Today I am thankful for the sunshine!!!! With hurricane Sandy we have been so fortunate. We have not lost our homes, been displaced because of power, or any such matter. We simply have had trick or treating postponed(life-changing event right?!?), but we have been without the beautiful sunshine for days now. While our circumstances are so much better than many it has been dark, dreary, and rainy outside.... So while that is not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things I do love sunshine and am so thankful that it is here today  brightening up the sky and my day.

What are you thankful for today???

Thankfulness~ Day 1

 I love November! I am a shopper, so Black Friday is always fun for me. I'm also a hunter and hunting season begins. Also, I really LOVE that every November I see people(including myself) reflecting on their lives and remembering to be thankful for what they have. We seem to go 11 months of the year being thankful, but forgetting to really proclaim how blessed we are. This month I'd really like to remember to do that myself, so I plan to share that with you.


Today is Day 1 and I woke up exhausted after being up with my teething toddler last night. As I got ready for my day I was increasingly lacking motivation. Usually, I try to be supermom(which no one is, but we try right?) I try to home school my preschooler, maintain my house, teach my toddler manners and language skills. I also, try to  have dinner prepared for my husband,read my bible, and so much more. If you are a mom you know this list goes on and on. I thought to myself today. I have no need to be super mom. I can just be mom and no one will perish. So, that I did. I did make some much needed list, do some lesson planning, read to the kids,throw a load of laundry in,  but I did it all in lounge clothes hanging in the comfort of my living room. Today I am utterly grateful that I am able to work at home and be with my kids. I am thankful that on a crazy day I don't have to be super-mom, mom will do just fine and most of all I'm thankful that Jesus is my Savior.
