We just passed the first weekend of November and my mind is swirling, trying to catch up – I’m not sure where 2014 has gone. At any rate, we took it easy the past few days and spent some family time together. And it is just what my heart and soul needed.
November, sometimes, ends up being a countdown to the end of the year. Worst case scenario : it is a fast-paced exhausting race to Christmas. And I just don’t want to be a part of that marathon this year. My heart longs to savor this season of Thanksgiving. I want to take my time and soak in all of the goodness that God has given to us. Like my favorite hymn, I’m asking the Heavenly Father to “Tune my heart to sing thy grace.” When I focus on all of the craziness this season often brings, my heart gets out of tune pretty quickly.
Here are a few of my “thankfulnesses.” Nothing fantastic by most’s standards, I suppose. Yet, they are God’s grace – specifically for me. And I am truly grateful!
