It has been way to long since I’ve posted my blessings. But, in an effort to continue striving towards making gratitude a way of life and an ingrained habit, I’m pressing on.
I’m currently reading a book by Kristen Welch which will be released in January entitled, “Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World” and I’m learning the lesson that in order to teach my children gratefulness, I must first model it for them. They must see it lived out in my own life. This book in challenging me in many ways! (psst….You can pre-order a copy for yourself here)
