In the busy...always gratitude, ALWAYS!

The way to live a life full of gratitude to my Father

is to always have my eyes and heart open to the blessings, both big and small,

that surround me every moment of everyday. 

The way to combat the cares of this world

is by being ever aware

of the LARGENESS of my God's LOVE for me!

I home school my children, I would not trade it for anything...what precious times I have shaping and molding their hearts and minds.  One of the habits we are cultivating is a thankfulness journal.  I have one as well, so I share...
