I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is Thursday. There’s so much to be thankful for and so many things to be so prayerful about. Through this year, I have had quite a few rough patches and have had quite alot of good things happen, too. Lately, I have been reflecting alot so I thought it would be a perfect time to sit down and write all of the prayerful things and thankful things I have on my heart at this particular time.
I’m thankful for:
- My discovery of etsy
- The wonderful friends I have – online and not online
- Opening my shop on etsy
- Kind words said by others
- Friendships that are tried and true
- My wonderful, loving, caring, strong, kind, crazy, funny, sensitive, thoughtful husband (I could go on and on with wonderful words about him!!)
- My parents – they are the best Mama and Daddy that a girl could ever dream of having
- My brother – he’s always there when times are tough and can always make me laugh
- My extended family who I know are just a phone call away
- My faith, which gets me through so many hard times and helps me to see clearly
- Our house. While it’s slowly getting renovated to our vision, it’s our safe haven. Our little piece of comfort. Our home.
- That I was born into this wonderful country.
- Being able to do something that I love and share it with others.
Things that I am prayerful for:
- Our wonderful country and all the issues we face.
- Making my etsy shop my full time job.
- The economy.
- The President and his family.
- People who have wronged me.
- Soldiers and their families.
- Sick and hurting people, known and unknown.
- Loss.
- Peace.
- Hope.
- Love.
