Concluding My 7 Days of Giving Thanks

       Constantly I think about writing.  Whether I am thinking about writing something that would send a good message or just be entertaining I am thinking about writing it down.  I really wanted to do this piece on My 7 Days of Giving Thanks but the thought of having to write something everyday and having barley anytime to check it for grammatical/spelling/and(or) typos terrified me.  Though with much swallowed fear I want on and have it a go.
       I must say I did learn more than I thought I would this last week.  I thought about things I was thankful for and took for granite.  I gained an appreciation for learning how to use the internet to communicate my writing with people.  I began to learn how to grow an audience.  Most importantly, I grew a stronger relationship with God.
       All in all, this past week was a great learning experience and I can’t wait to look back on it years later and think about when I was writing this now.  If I hadn't of decided to go ahead and go for it, I might would have never learned anything new.  I might would have never posted anything else on this blog for months to come.  So if today was another day of being thankful I would be thankful I had the courage to do this blog.

Day 7 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!  Today, My 7th Day of Giving Thanks I am thankful for family.  All parts of family, the good, the bad, and the annoying.
I am thankful for those who are always there.  The ones who are there so much you can’t help but get into arguments with them because anyone there that long couldn't help but to drive you crazy.  The ones you laugh with and the ones who take care of you when you are sick.  The ones you hug and tell you love.
I am thankful to get to spend the day with my family.  I am thankful for the opportunity of us all gathering under the same roof and sharing out blessing together.  Today is to family.  I love yawl.

Day 6 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks 2012

       One day left until Thanksgiving.  I have (semi)successfully wrote a heartfelt “I am thankful for…” post for the past 5 days.  As I write one of my last days I feel like I have become more thankful than I was when I started.  Today, Day 6 or My 7 Days of Giving Thanks, I am thankful for all I have.
At times it doesn't seem like too much and at others it seems overflowing, but no matter the amount I never go without.  I might not always have everything I want but God always provides me with everything I need.  Sometimes it doesn't always come at the time I want it to and I don’t enjoy waiting, but it always comes.
I really can’t complain.  God watched over me and makes sure I always have what I need.  I put my Trust in Him.  So today, I thank God for the thing I have.

Day 5 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks 2012

Smoke blows from my mouth.  The air is quiet and crisp.  Everything but bright white dots in the sky are painted black and I am starring up at the beauty of the night.  Today I am thankful for the beauty of slowing down.
I enjoy how things slow down.  Everything and everyone in the world always seems so rushed.  At times it feels like the whole world is in a hurry and I am the only one standing still.  Watching a squirrel run up a tree to escape a chasing dog, a deer on the side of the road eating the grass, and a baby figuring out how to drink from a sippy cup for the first time sparks an appreciation for life.
When time seems like it isn't moving is the times I can realize all the blessings there are.  These moments are the times I can spend hours talking to God and it seems like I have all the time in the world.  I remember to be thankful and to pray for others rather than myself.  I love these moments when I don’t use the excuse I am too busy or too tired.  Moments I realize the true value of slowing down.

Day 4 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks 2012

        Today I am thankful for a subject really close to my heart.  On day 4 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks I am thankful for friends.  They are strangers one second and apart of your entire life the next.  I am especially thankful for my best friend.
I can still remember the first day we met and how we kept running into each other afterwards.  I am so thankful for how we slowly and strongly grew from acquaintances to best friends.  We took the time to get to know each other and found out we had more and more in common, so much at times we felt like we were the same person.  At other times we couldn't have felt more different.
So today is to friends.  Especially the ones who stick with you through the good times and the bad.  Today I am thankful for true friendship.

Day 3 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks 2012

I don’t find it too hard to be thankful most of the time.  However, I do find it hard to choose only one thing I am thankful for.  Tonight, I had to pray and I waited until God put a main focus on my heart.  Today, Day 3 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks, I am thankful for my son.
I love being a mom.  Early morning I wake up beside a (loud) smiling face cooing and laughing.  Little hands smack at my arm telling me it is time to get up.  I give him morning hugs and kisses.  Then I change his diaper and give him more hugs and kisses.  We talk to each other.  He answers me in grins and laughs.  Each one more blissful than the next.  I fix him breakfast and he chimes, “num num” in approval.  We play together and watch movies.  At night, he lays beside me drinking a bottle of milk until he falls asleep.
How beautiful it is to have such a charming son.  He is truly one of the biggest blessing ever given to me.  I am so thankful to be this little boys mommy.  I love you my Little Baby <3

Day 2 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks 2012

       Yesterday I told you how I was thankful for My Savior Jesus Christ. Today, Day 2 of My 7 Days of Giving Thanks, I am thankful to be member of the Body of Christ.

       Daily, I take for granite the blessing of My Salvation. I pass by those who are unsaved everyday. Not taking the time to talk to the lost. Maybe I pass by because I don't believe I can make a difference, possibly because I am scared of getting rejected or criticized, and mostly because I am in a hurry or too busy. No matter the reason I don't stop and these people get passed on by.

       We have all been there. How selfish are these reasons though. God's people find it a inconvenience to stop and take the time to make sure someone else has a chance of Salvation. I can't help but wonder where would I be if no one would have taken the time to stop and talk to me. What if someone thought I was a incontinence?

       Any reason don't see to matter. Today I am thankful God gave me the opportunity to do His work and no longer want to take it for granite. I no longer wish to find the only true important task in the world an inconvenience. I want to do what God put me here to do. After all, His Will is perfect, not mine.
