As I sat to record the blessings of this past week of giving thanks, I became overwhelmed as my list got longer and longer.
There is so much to be thankful for.
I am so incredibly blessed and sometimes I don’t realize it until I look back and force myself to count and remember.
This week we put up our Christmas week, marking the beginning of the Christmas season in our home. I am so thankful for this season of the year when we focus on Christ and His coming to this world as an innocent baby. He gave so much to offer us life. I want to teach my children that He is the reason we celebrate Christmas.
We were able to visit both of our families during the Thanksgiving holiday and as we get closer and closer to our move across the country, I am more and more thankful for these times. I see them as a blessing because I know how precious this time is.
