Thankful!!

Enter Into His Gates with Thanksgiving

And into His Courts with Praise.

Be Thankful to HIM, and Bless HIS name.

Psalm 100: 4

Thankfulness and Blessings is what is the on the minds and hearts of most people as we celebrate Thanksgiving.  Like everyone else, I wanted to make my list.  Here it is.  Although it is not exhaustive it is what my heart is most passionate about on a daily basis, it is the LIFE my Abba Daddy has called me to walk.  I am blessed beyond imagine, beyond the scope of mere words.  For words cannot adequately express the depth of feelings for these precious gifts in my life.

My Abba Father, giving me life and breath, giving me passion, ability, giving me mercy and grace. 

My Kendall, the man of my hearts desire, the one I dream with, the one I work with, the one who loves me unconditionally.

My sweet children, the blessings of my womb.  Caitlyn with her quiet, gentle, sweet spirit.  Nathan with his tender, hearing, loving heart.  Joshua with his joyful, laughing, passionate spirit. 

Our extended families, our parents, our sisters and brothers, our nieces and nephews.  The ones that care for us and love us the most.

Our Messiah's House Family.  The family God chose for us to worship with, to grow with, to learn with. 

The blessing of Homeschooling our Children.  The honor of training them in the way they will go, of investing each day into them.

Our Beach Body Business.  The vehicle the Father has used to teach us about ourselves and ministry, given us the ability to dream, and helped us physically, as well as financially.  

I have a challenge to issue for you, for me.  For your family, for my family...

take time to make two different lists this year and a daily commitment:

1) an exhaustive list of all that you have been blessed with THIS year

2) a list of what you want to be thankful for this time next year.

 Write down next year's Thanksgiving list today,

Now, commit to taking sometime everyday to reflect and journal about what you are thankful for.  Don't wait till this time next year to remind yourself of your blessings.  Do it everyday. 

Take the challenge, our family is.  We have already dreamed and listed what this time next year we will be thankful for. Now go out and make it happen for your family, for you!

With Many Thanksgiving Blessings,

Heather
