Grateful

How does one go a whole month without blogging?

Very easily!!!

It's been a lovely month, but it's shocking how quickly it goes by!

Focusing on Thanksgiving, we have been so grateful to reflect on the blessings bestowed upon our lives. It is incredible to feel and be so wildly blessed. The Giver of Life has been so gracious to us....in all things, all around. Of course, there's never a time when his hand has left our lives, but it is awe-inspiring to "feel" it so closely. We are wildly blessed. This is our *Thankful Tree*. Just a visible reminder of gifts or blessings we are aware of. No doubt our shaggy little make-shift tree couldn't contain all....but it is such a great exercise to physically write these things down.


"Every day we must make a deep choice for gratitude, abundance (“there is enough”), and appreciation, which always de-centers the self and its cravings. It is the core meaning of worship. Your life is pure gift, and it must be based in an attitude of gratitude." ~R. Rohr
 Our hearts exclaim, "Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!"
