Reflecting on the last month, here’s what I’m thankful for.
1. Live Christmas trees. I love coming home and smelling fresh pine.
2. Christmas music. Traditional Christmas carols never get old to me.
3. Spending a day at the coast with my wonderful hubby, celebrating five years ago when he asked me to marry him.
4. A week off of work right when I felt like I was going to snap. God seems to give me a break right when I need it.
5. My first electric guitar from my husband and a chance to expand my musicianship. (If you’d like to read the full, awesome story behind my Christmas gift, click here.)
6. Rest and creative time with my husband. I love that he enjoys being creative as much as I do.
7. Jon Acuff’s 5 Club. He continues to encourage and push me (and many others) toward passions, dreams and goals. I have a feeling 2013 is going to be a productive year.
8. Comforting passages of Scripture. As I read through the Christmas passages of the Bible, the familiar words made my heart smile.
9. Time with family. Laughter, food and copious amounts of crinkled wrapping paper make for a fun day.
10. Watching my nephews play Christmas carols on piano during a Christmas Eve service. They rocked it. (The big dramatic bow that my younger nephew took was awesome too.)
What are you thankful for this month?
That you’re going to come SING with me tonight!!!!
For December:
1. The book my siblings and I wrote for my momma
2. That everyone made it to my mom’s for Christmas
3. All the great food over Christmas
4. Everyone was healthy
5. Having a job
6. All of our kids doing well with school
7. That Jesus was willing
8. Guidance from God
9. New puppy
10. God’s goodness
You wrote a book for your mom? How sweet! And a new puppy! Fun!
It was a book of memories. I wrote 30 letters and my two sisters each wrote about the same and my brothers wrote 4 pages each so it ended up about 135 pages without the pictures and 195 with the pictures. I got it hard bound.
