Over at The Gypsy Mama it is time for 5 minute Friday and I am ready to just write. Just write with no proofreading. Just write what comes to mind when I hear the word Grateful and a lot comes to mind!
Start:
Grateful...Grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who knows me. Who made me who I am and who leads me every step of the way. Grateful for a hardworking husband who sacrifices sleep to provide for us. Grateful that he supports us in every way. Grateful that he loves me inspite of my craziness. Grateful for a boy who brings joy into my life every second of every day. Grateful that he loves learning. Grateful for his health and strength. Grateful for his love. I am grateful for the freedoms I know. I am thankful to those who made and make that freedom possible. I am free to speak, worship, and think how I choose. And I choose to love the Lord with all my heart. I choose to keep my family close. I am grateful for choice. I am grateful for Teva flip-flops, sleeping, cool breeze on a hot day, the feeling of dipping your toes in cooling water, I am grateful for life.
Stop. Five minutes just isn't enough to even scratch the surface of what I am grateful for in my life. What are you grateful for?
Thanks for the sweet comment!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog design. I feel at home here. Especially since I just saw in the post below this one that you live in my old stomping grounds! I'm a transplanted South Carolina Girl!! :)
Hi Carrie, I linked up after you at The Gypsy Mama so I'm sharing the love. :) We do have so many things to be thankful for, don't we. God's unconditional love for me is at the top of my list. Thanks for sharing your heart. Many blessings!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. It's always so amazing to me how much I can think of to be grateful about when I put my mind to it. It makes it hard to be negative about anything, doesn't it?
