Give Thanks

I have decided to try something new for the month of November. I love all the things that the beginning of November brings. Today is All Saints Day, we have multiple family birthdays in November, of course Thanksgiving is in November, and Christmas and all its festivities are right around the corner! Ryne and I are constantly being loved on and encouraged and we are SO thankful for that. I hope that I will always remember to be Thankful for what the Lord has done and not just on Thanksgiving. That is why I am going to try to post something I am thankful for each day in November!
I feel as if too often I can get caught up in the "holiday season" and I miss some of the little things that really make life special. I hope I can always look back at these posts and be reminded of this time in our lives and how God is and has been working in our lives. Maybe others will even get a blessing too!
So today...
I am thankful that my children have clothes for the "Winter". I kept getting frustrated because there is a big box of clothes that is sitting in my living room floor. Just a few weeks ago I was thinking about how Riley really needed some more Winter clothes because she was outgrowing them all. Then, by complete coincedence i'm sure :) someone gave me a box full of clothes for Riley! Istead of praising God for his provision I got frustrated with the "extra work" that the box in my living room floor represents. I remember when my mom worked at the Elementary school, there would be many children that couldn't play outside because they did not have a coat. My kids have more than one, atleast. Isn't it funny how we do things like that sometimes. I am thankful that I have clothes for my children and that God always provides.
