Every November we pull out our 'Thankful Jar'. Each night we gather together as a family and write one thing that we are thankful for that happened that day. It has been a wonderful way to get into the Holiday of Thanksgiving. It has been a little harder this year with my husband being gone. Now I'm still thankful and I think about it during the day. But then getting the kids to bed on my own I tend to forget in the hustle and bustle of things. Well at least I did this last week. But as Anne of Green Gable's Miss Shirlee once said, "Tomorrow is a brand new day with no mistakes in it." So I'll try harder. Actually I saw an idea on the T.V. this last week. A women suggested to get some branches from outside to make your own 'thankful tree' inside. Then every day you write on a paper leaf what you are thankful for and hang it from the branches. Then the tree is full by Thanksgiving. It is a lot more creative than my original idea and it might help my kids to remind me. :] I'll let you know if I remember or have time to do it.
Here are some of the things I was thankful for this week..
-A new job.
-Nice fall weather.
-Amazing neighbors.
-Wonderful parents and siblings who helped me.
-A husband who has good work ethic.
-Heavenly Father's comfort and strength.
-Peace when I needed it.
-A place for my husband to stay while he is away.
Happy Thanksgiving!
