Happy Thanksgiving!

This time of year obviously reminds me of all we have to be thankful for each and every day.  I was inspired after reading Ann Voskamp's, One Thousand Gifts, (http://onethousandgifts.com/ ) to start a gratitude journal.  It is amazing how your attitude can be changed simply by giving thanks to God for even the smallest of blessings.  At the top of my list I am thankful for God's gift of grace, to have wonderful friends and family in our lives, two healthy & beautiful (inside & out) girls, and 14+ years of being with love of my life and best friend!  Sounds cliche, but all very true for me.  However, if you get down to the nitty-gritty of life and further down the list....I'm thankful for "accident-free" days while potty-training Addilyn, that Ella found a friend in her new Kindergarten class that loves God, that the spaghetti stains came out of the brand-new white leggings, and that my kiddos actually ate veggies at dinner last night! :)  What are you thankful for?  I know I am blessed beyond measure and way more than I deserve so it is with a very grateful heart that I wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!
