Some days, when Mason is awake at 5:15 am, Jentry has a complete meltdown over the way her socks "feel all wrong" in her shoes, and I am trying to put a hot meal on the table while my husband leisurely makes his way home via a stop at the golf course, it is difficult to be thankful in EVERYTHING. However, I wouldn't trade my sweet baby boy for all the sleep in the world, I wouldn't change my daughter's strong personality for a perfect angel and I my husband...well if a cocktail and a few minutes to socialize after a day of work provides him with his unimaginable patience, then by all means I will let him take his sweet time getting home.
By following these three commands -- be joyful, pray continually, and give thanks -- I find it easier to be joyful and thankful. However, to be totally honest with myself, my problems are so minimal when compared to others'. Most circumstances in my life are quite easy to be thankful for and my gratitude should flow freely.
The pictures in my camera roll from the month of November are proof of how very blessed I am.
The beautiful paint in the sky. It was Jentry's idea to stop and take a picture on the way home from picking up Mason at daycare. She has such an appreciation for beauty.
