We are buying a journal today. A thanksgiving journal to be exact. It will probably be a regular college ruled note-book from Wal-Mart but we will call it a journal because sometimes it's important to be fancy.
We are going to write in it everyday this month. All of the things that we are thankful for. The big things and the small things. We are going to show gratitude and respect and hold nothing back. We are going to be thought provoking and funny and real.
The boys are going to learn the importance of writing things down to remember. I am going to teach them that Thanksgiving is more than just pie and mashed potatoes (although that is important too).
I can tell already that I will probably learn more from this lesson than they will. In fact, I think that might be the first gift that I catalog in the journal. I'm thankful for my boys who were sent to me by God so that I would learn the true meaning of thanksgiving.
You'll be so glad you did this, Amelia! Oh, to have hearts full of gratitude to God who gives us all good things and fashions trials for our good and His glory! Have fun shopping for your journal. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm already so thankful! Both of the boys said: "We are thankful for you Mama!!"
ReplyDeleteHow did I get so lucky?
I'm very thankful for my wonderful family God gave me and so your family is my family too. XO to all of you.
