So at first this '30 days of thankful' was a little awkward. Besides the generic things it was difficult in the beginning to identify the little, less obvious blessings that we have in our lives. The awkwardness quickly passed though, and I am happy to report that today's post took approximatly 1 minute (and that was mostly because of my typing deficit). Our lives are so blessed. It is really kind of sad that it took us literally 'counting our blessings' to begin to understand HOW many blessings we have in our lives. So this brings me to my final number, not that I couldn't keep going, because I definitely could. It's just '30 days of thankful' wouldn't be very honest if it went on into the bazillions.

30. I am so thankful for a loving Father in Heaven who sees fit to fill our lives with so many blessings. All we have to do is try to do what's right, and he answers with an outpouring of blessing that make our lives so much easier.

Hopefully with this lesson learned, and a little more fully understood, we'll be able to notice more often all of the things that we have to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,
The Goodes
