30 Days of Thankfulness – Day 9

30 Days of Thankfulness

(A handy reminder for me to do what we are commanded in Scripture.)

November 9th, 2012. Day 9.

I am thankful for Wolf’s job(s).

We’ve struggled though many years of being self-employed (and a failed business), unemployed, and under-employed – so I am profoundly appreciative of Wolf’s paycheck from his regular job, which allows me to be home with the children, as well as the Air Force Reserves salary that’s enabling us to save for a previously-unimaginable trip to Disney.

30 Days of Thankfulness

(This meme is a handy reminder for me to do what we are commanded in Scripture.)

November 8th, 2012. Day 8.

I am thankful for health insurance.

Having lived a lot of my life without it, I fully appreciate the savings I am enjoying now, as my kids are fighting a nasty antibiotic-resistant strep infection, and I am taking some horrifically expensive medication for a wicked migraine.

Although this encompasses a lot of things – for hubby’s job that offers the benefit, etc. – I am singling out the health insurance today, and will allow the others to have their own time in the spotlight as the month goes on.

30 Days of Thankfulness

(A reminder for me to do what we are commanded in Scripture.)

November 7th, 2012. Day 7.

I am thankful for Grace.

Grace makes it okay that I don’t always post each day’s thankfulness item in a timely fashion, among many things every day – from the silly and trivial, to the deep and profound.

What an amazing, loving Heavenly Father I have!

I am thankful for the Democratic process.

I’m just going to keep telling myself that. ;)

November 5th, 2012. Day 5.

I am thankful that I discovered my gluten sensitivity.

As frustrating as my new dietary restrictions are at times, it is a huge relief to be free from the consequences of eating gluten.

30 Days of Thankfulness – Day 4

30 Days of Thankfulness

(A good nudge for me to do what we are commanded to do explicitly in Scripture.)

November 4th, 2012. Day 4.

I am thankful for my “baby” boy, R.T.

R.T. is so funny, so full of life, and such a “little grown up”… He brings a smile to everyone’s face. He is a blessing to me and to our family.

30 Days of Thankfulness – Day 3

30 Days of Thankfulness

(A good reminder to do what we are commanded to do explicitly in Scripture.)

November 3rd, 2012. Day 3.

I am thankful for my beautiful daughter, Jewel.

After raising Nick, and swooning over the adorable little girl things, it was my prayer for many long and lonely years that I would have more children, and especially a little girl.

Jewel is 100% girly girl, and I am so blessed to be the one God chose to be her mother. She is sweet and loving, compassionate, intelligent, musical, and already loves the Lord and strives to follow in His ways.

30 Days of Thankfulness – Day 2

30 Days of Thankfulness

(A good “excuse” to do what the Lord commands us to do explicitly in Scripture.)

November 2nd, 2012. Day 2.

I am thankful for my incredible husband, Wolf.

(Without intending any slight to the Lord, who naturally is our all in all – and a post for another day).

I am so blessed that the Lord brought such an amazing man into my life 10 years ago. We had each been on such a journey to reach that place in our lives!

  • Wolf is my rock, always an island of calm in my emotional world.
  • He is the true spiritual head of our home.
  • I can always count on him to care for me, and for our children, without stint and without hesitation – “Whatever it takes”, as he often says.
  • And he is the one who makes me laugh, and my one true love – my knight in shining armor.

I don’t tell him often enough, so today I am shouting it out for all the world to hear:

I love you!
I appreciate you!
I am thankful for who you are, and for all you do!

30 Days of Thankfulness – Day 1


I have decided to take on the meme that’s running wild this Thanksgiving month:

30 Days of Thankfulness

This is a good “excuse” to do what the Lord commands us to do explicitly in Scripture.

November 1st, 2012. Day 1.

I am thankful for my brilliant and amazing son Nick.

Even though he is no longer living under my roof, he is never far from my thoughts. It is and has been a privilege and a blessing to be a part of his life.
