If you know me, you already know that I'm most thankful for my Lord and His saving grace. AND my family, those are a given. I'm going to try to dig deeper and get down to the nitty-gritty - even if there's some particular aspect of God or family that I can be thankful for and share with you.
Since I'm just joining and it's November 2, I shall have two things to be thankful for today. Yesterday, as I woke early to get ready for work, my husband and I walked outside to see what the weather was doing. It was still sorta darkish, but it was muggy and warm and the dark clouds kind of enveloped us. Now here in Texas where we live, there are tons of trees. It's hard to get a good look at the sky sometimes depending upon where you are. Well, at our farm, the hay pastures are wide open and we can stroll out to the middle of them and see 360 degrees of sky. I absolutely LOVE looking at that sky. So, yesterday I was SO thankful for the ability to see a complete sky above my head. I can spin around in a circle and see nothing but sky! Whether it's cloudy and grey, starry at night, or filled with fluffy clouds & sunshine - I LOVE ME SOME SKY!!!
Today, since it's on my heart & pertinent to all of us, I'm thankful for our country and the right to vote. I'm thankful for our way of government that we can be a part of putting our leaders into office and we are free to vote for whoever we think would best fit the job. I've already voted absentee, but I know there are many, many people that are exercising that right today.
I hope you'll check out Leah's blog, South Breeze Farm, and see all the others who've signed up for this challenge. I'll bet each and every one of you can find at least 30 things (or more) to be thankful for this November, the month of Giving Thanks! Hope you'll join in - or at least in your own hearts and minds, find things for which to be thankful in this season of the year!
