Thankful Thursday

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.”
-Oprah Winfrey

Every Thursday until the end of this month I'd like to share some things that I am Thankful for, things that make me Happy, and things that I love. I'd also like to share a link for a printable paper to get your kids involved in "being thankful." Click HERE and print this paper out, have your kids fill out (or help them) what they are Thankful for.

What I am Thankful for :
1. I am very thankful for my 3 beautiful, and healthy children, although they are terrors on most days, they still seem to fill my days with laughter! I love them more than anything else in this world.
2. I am thankful for my parents. I may have not always agreed with them with the way that I was raised, but without it, I wouldn’t be the person that I am today. So much of what makes the person I am- is grounded in what I experienced in my younger years.
3. I am thankful for being able to spend so much time with my children, and to be able to be at home with them and not work outside of the home.
4. I am thankful that God has given me the gift to be able to “shop smarter” and to be able to find all the great deals and share them with others. I am thankful that he makes me appreciate everything that comes my way, because it doesn’t come easily, and even more thankful when it does.
5. I am thankful for this blog, because somehow I am able to speak better on it than I can with my own mouth!

Please use this day to give thought to what you are truly thankful for.
Love to all and God bless.
