Thankful Tuesdays in November
November has long been a reason to celebrate. Celebrate Thanksgiving Day by gathering around the table for some good food and time spent with our families. November has also been a time we celebrate during the month, sharing what we are thankful for. Thankful Tuesdays is a place I can share what I am thankful for with you. I pray that it encourages you to be thankful too. Even when life is hard, we can always find something to be thankful for.

Just Thankful
It is funny the memories from my childhood that have stuck with me as I’ve grown up. Although, I admit that often it isn’t the memories of the things that I had or all the things I did that I remember or think about the most. As I have gotten older, I have the wisdom to just be thankful for so many things. One of the most enduring Thanksgiving memories I have is not with tables full of food and people gathered around. It is instead one solitary Thanksgiving meal with my mom that is the most endearing to me. My dad went hunting with my brother that year, so…

Thankful for Simple
I am thankful today for simplicity. The simple uncomplicated things in my life. Believe me for a girl who can overcomplicate everything in a red hot minute this is a very big deal. And when you begin to see God working that magic word in your own life even if in small ways it is definitely something to be thankful for. Honestly, I can overcomplicate just about everything in my life. I can overcomplicate picking out what I wear, how I do a job and cook a meal. My husband is always telling me to “work smarter not harder” because I can do so many things the hard…

Thankful for That Day
This day, November 3, 2020. For some it will be a day they will never forget. It will bring uncertainty. Fear. Even dread. For others it will bring illness. Cancer. Cov-19. For others pain and grief. For others it will be a day of heartache. Loss. Disappointment. Depression. Anxiety. For many it will bring unwanted change. Unplanned circumstances. Disappointing results. This day the world cries out for justice. Understanding. Acceptance. This day people long for rest. Restoration. Deliverance. This day many struggle to find the one thing they perhaps need the most. Hope. But one day this day will change. Change from this day to That Day….. And on That Day….…
