Twenty Days of Thanksgiving

Day 18
Today I am thankful for all of the coaches and support staff who have invested into my children. Each and every one of my kids have a heart for sports. Nick and Aaron both love football. Abby and Hali love soccer. The dedication and investment that these coaches have made is amazing. They spend day after day, week after week giving instruction, encouragement and motivation to do the best you can. I am thankful for the Kansas City Lions, whom are geared towards home schoolers. They provide a wonderful opportunity for our kids to play competitive sports. I am also very thankful for Scream Soccer. The love coach Barry has for these girls is evident in all he says and does. I am thankful for Coach Gretta who has the little Sprites. What an amazing gift you have given all of your players.

Thank you Lord for these wonderful people!

Twenty Days of Thanksgiving

Day 20
Being thankful is a state of mind. Everyone can be thankful, but more often than not, we choose not to be. Often we can find ourselves murmuring and complaining about our lives, our homes, our families or our finances. This month I want to make it a point to be thankful for each and every one of my blessings. Will you take this journey of thankfulness with me?

Today I am thankful for our home. It provides shelter from the blustery winds, a place where we can raise our little ones in peace, and a place for love to grow. While I may not have a large fancy home like some of my friends, I am thankful that those who come here feel comfortable and at rest. I am thankful that we can extend the spirit of hospitality to weary travelers and extend an open invitation to our friends and neighbors.

Thank you Lord for my many blessings!
