Days 22-24-This is Getting Hard

Kristen

Well, I have slightly fallen off the Thankfulness bandwagon and a few days got away from me.  So rather than continue to feel guilty, here I am catching up.

Day 22:  I am thankful for my neighbors who over the last 7 years of living here have become friends.  I remember when we were driving through this neighborhood looking at it, everyone would wave to us.  I looked at my husband and asked why all these people were waving at us?  Well, thankfully, we moved into one of the friendliest neighborhoods ever and we have shared a lot of laughs!  We have watched each others children grow.  We have spent countless hours together and today I am thankful for these families who welcomed us to their neighborhood!

Day 23:  With the wind blowing outside and bitter cold temperatures-today I am thankful for our home.  It is far from perfect, but we have made many memories here and it keeps us warm on these cold days. 

Day 24:  Today I am thankful for how my church stretches me to grow as a person through giving.  It's not always easy, but it's something I never regret.  To teach my children to give is something I am also grateful for.  Walking into church today to pick names off the Christmas tree will not tax me in any way, but will make someones season brighter and for that I am thankful.
