There are some things we always think of to list on our “thankful” lists…Jesus Christ, and the salvation He gave to each of us who believes…family and friends who stick by us through thick and thin…shelter and food God provides for us each day…clothes to keep us warm (or cool) depending on the season…a church faithfully preaching the Word of God, seeking to glorify God in all things…
But there are so many things that are much too often overlooked, that I am thankful for…things that at first glance may appear a bit odd or trivial to be thankful for…but things that remind me of how blessed I truly am!
loud laughs
fingerprinted mirrors, windows, and walls
holding hands
quiet snickers and whispers at bedtime
post-it note surprises
little shoes scattered from room to room
piles of laundry to wash and fold
little fingers and toes
butterfly & bunny kisses
homeschooling opportunities
little ones wrapped around my legs
snuggle time
sincere cries
warm days
faith-building circumstances in life
children singing, off-tune or not
new adventures
movie night
cold pillows
child’s excitement about anything
love…true love
answered prayers
unanswered prayers
missing kitchen utensils
imagination of a child
boxes and the worlds they open
What “out of the ordinary” blessing are you most thankful for today?
