Saturday Slices of Thankfulness 2

Issue two of the Thankful Posts 

  Last week I mentioned I wanted to take the time to remember all the things and blessings I do have instead of getting caught up in what I don't have. Every day this year I am writing down one thing I am thankful for on that day. Sometimes I immediately know, sometimes it takes a bit of thought.  Here's this weeks list.

January 6th- a glimpse of the big picture, "the zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this."(Isa.9:7)

January 7th- watching the first episode of the season of Downton Abbey with Mom.

January 8th- lovely fabrics to make things with

January 9th- getting to spend time with my young sewing friend

January 10th- getting to take it easy when I feel blah.

January 11th- got my brother's quilt pinned together.

So what are you thankful for this week?

Saturday's Slices of Thankfulness

I've decided to start a new feature this year. Every day I am going to write down one thing I am thankful for and on Saturday I'll share a recap.
I so often get caught up in my life and what is missing or what I have not accomplished instead of all the good things around me. I am truly blessed and want to remember that. So even if it is trivial I'm going to keep a record of those moments that touch me and I recognize God's blessings. I hope you'll chime in each Saturday too, sharing what you are Thankful for that week. So here I go, 365 days of Thanksgiving.

January 1st: Ice skating parties and friends to play ice hockey with.

January 2nd: Turkeys in the yard and a warm house to watch them from.

January 3rd: Watched a great old black and white movie, Driftwood, with my Mom.
