Thankfulness Thursday

 
 thankful for....

warm throw blankets
crazy games
giant snowflakes
the steady ticking of the clock
catching up with friends
long talks with Mum
the warm sun on my face
wind blowing the snow
surprise packages
gorgeous views
spontaneous dancing in the kitchen
quiet time

_____________________________________________________________________
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, 
rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught,
and overflowing with thankfulness. 
Colossians 2:6-7

Thankfulness Thursday



Sometimes it can be really hard to give thanks...But giving thanks to God for even the smallest of things is one of the most effective and important things that I have done to keep my eyes focused on Him. In every circumstance, there is always something to be thankful for, and when we start seeing everything as a unique gift from God, our entire focus shifts off of our problems and onto his amazing grace.

 thankful for..

sunshine in the bitter cold
 book stores
antiques
letters in the mail
string lights
forgiveness
encouraging podcasts (this one is incredible)
planners
scripture memory cards
long talks
waking up when it's still dark
rest
art inspiration 
colorful ink 
hand lettering

Thankfulness Thursday (but sort-of Friday) | Week 2


Helloo, lovelies!! First of all, I am going to state the obvious. I completely missed posting this yesterday! I am so sorry about that! But I suppose it is better late than never, right? 

Also, Blogger got an symbol/emoji option!? Now if that's not exciting, I don't know what is. (I'm actually not sure how much I will use it, but I'm still super excited)  

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK?! I feel like it came up really fast! I have been so preoccupied with life and other things that I didn't realize how close it was until yesterday. *sarcastic applause* Way to be observant, Megan. 😛

ANYWAYS, this week is Week 2 of Thankfulness Thursday! (or Friday..haha...oops.) Here we go!

thankful for.... 

// prayer
// warm cookies (of course)
// anticipation
// letter writing
// being busy
// stargazing
// deep conversations
// exciting news
 // Christmas movies
 (yes yes I know it's still early but I love Christmas, ok?😊)

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped; 
my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.

Thankfulness Thursday | Week 1


Hey everyone! It's November: the month in which many people do the thankfulness challenges and other such things in preparation for Thanksgiving! Grace Anne is hosting a Thankfulness Thursday challenge over at her blog, and I decided to take part in it this year! Every Thursday, I will be posting a list of things I am thankful for.
The world needs so much love and light, especially with all of the hate that is going on right now. Let's choose to recognize the blessings that we have all year 'round, not just this month! ♥
  
thankful for.....

//sunny days
//peace
//early morning walks
//fires in the fireplace
//deep, meaningful friendships
//writing afternoons
//flannels
//moonlight
//empty notebooks waiting to be filled
//music
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 
~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
