Gratitude Tuesday

Today I am grateful. I am grateful for the women of faith that God has put in my life. I know that when I am down and out, when I do not know where to turn those ladies are there for me. They will lift me up, encourage me, tell me the truth and sometimes they just tell me I am wrong.
I am grateful for our new parenting Bible Study. I am learning more than I care to admit. God is speaking to me and reminding me to parent with love, with consistency and to get to the heart of the matter.
Today I am thankful for teachers and leaders and instructors and counselors who work with my children each week.
Today I am thankful for the word of God. For a instruction book, my book of comfort and most of all it never changes and no matter how many times I read it I learn something new.

This week is going to sound silly. This week I am grateful for two things. I am thankful for the women who were rage screaming at their husbands at the commissary the other day. I am also thankful for the mom’s I heard screaming at their blessings.
I know it sounds weird but it reminded me to remind be kind to my children and husband. That even after a long day of shopping I do not want to de grade my children and husband this way.
I am very thankful for my husband. I am thankful that he can work all day long and still be willing to come home and help me.
Are you grateful this week? I would love to hear what you are grateful this week? I would love to hear what you are grateful for. You could also link up at Heavenly Homemakers. Pamela

Last week we had a truck of cattle crash behind our house and while it makes me sad so many beautiful bulls died I am grateful that no humans were injured and none of the bulls that lived got lose and ran through my fence.
I am grateful that it looks like my husband will be home this summer. I love him being home and cannot wait to spend many Saturdays with him.
Spring is right around the corner, I know it is hiding but I can feel it. When I look out the kitchen window and see my hero’s boat I know that very soon my hero will take my children away for many a Saturday mornings. That means I wake up to a quiet house and my children get to enjoy their daddy. Plus they get to do all that yucky bodily function talk that mommy does not allow.
We are taking a parenting class in small group that at first I thought was silly but we are really learning a lot and honestly I enjoy setting next to my hubby for an hour. Just quiet uninterrupted adult talk.

This week I am grateful for the sunset. I had never seen a sunset before this weekend and honestly when I saw the other ladies going outside I was not excited. That was until I saw it coming over the horizen. Then I could not stop looking at it, until my eyes started burning. Then I kept walking outside to see how high it was.

Gratitude: the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
— Psalms 118.1
Sometimes I forget to give thanks to the man that gives me everything. I am great at making list of all I am thankful for. I am great at telling others how blessed I feel. But I am not good at taking the time when I pray to admit how grateful I am. That is my goal this week.
This week I am grateful for the snow. I am grateful that the Army let my husband off today and tomorrow because of the snow and he is home to be with us. I am thankful he is off on Friday for a four day weekend.
I am grateful for a fully stocked pantry and chopped wood that is making this mini snow storm fun to enjoy.
Today I am grateful for the dirty bedroom that took me 5 hours to clean. Because why I cleaned I realized how fortunate we are to have so many clothes and blankets.
What are you thankful for? I encourage you to take time regularly to just make a list of things to be grateful for. It helps on the days when you feel you have nothing to be grateful for.

Gratitude Tuesday

This week I have so much to be grateful for. For one my husband is home. That thrills me not because it is Christmas but because I have been sick the last couple of days and he has been here to take over.
I am grateful that we have snow because we never have snow and my family loves snow. Although the first day it was too wet to make snowmen and yesterday my husband said it was frozen and could not be played with. I am grateful for the snow because it means church was cancelled on Sunday. I would normally not like that but I am not feeling well and it was my turn to cook.
What are you grateful for. I know my list is kind of lame but I do not feel well this week.

Sometimes I think it is hard to be grateful during the holidays. We think about all the things we can not get for our family and friends and how busy we are and all we have to do. I encourage you to stop for a moment and make a list of all the things you have to be grateful for.
This week I am grateful that I have healthy family. That I still have a mother who is alive and healthy and in laws that are alive and healthy. When you have lost a parent you understand how precious that is.
I have a warm house to be in and fully stocked pantry, again unless you have ever not had those things it is hard to understand the difference. This year if you are like me and have a over flowing pantry why not take a few minute and go through your pantry and make a food basket for a friend who may need it. I promise if you drop a basket off at your church they will know someone who could use it. This is such a simple thing to do and blesses someone.
I am so grateful for my God who sent his son to die on a cross for me, for the me who screams at her children, who sometimes spouts of to her husband or eats way too much junk food. For me, that still blows my mind.

Gratituesday is already here. This week I am writting this at 1:30am. I am setting on my couch with a little girl who had a upset tummy. She came into our bed about a hour ago and said she wanted to sleep with me. Okay, then she asked for a drink and I said NO, go to sleep. Then I heard the sound, you know the sound.
So I run from my room without looking back. Well I did take a second to ask my hero to get her a bowl. Then I came to the living room. A few minutes later she came in. She is okay, she even managed to change her shirt and then empty the dryer so we could fill it with the clothes from the washer. My wonderful hero finished cleaning off our bed and re making it. Then he put all the blankets in the washer.
So this week I am grateful for a husband who knows I can handle just about anything but what happened in my bed and I run for the hills.
I am grateful that after 5 pregnancy's I have only gotten sick a couple of times and each time my hero was there to clean up after me. I mean really cannot deal with stomach stuff.
