Happy Sunday, friends!
Since it's the weekend, I thought I'd combine day 3 and 4 in one post.
Day 3
On this day of my gratitude project, I am thankful for: my parents!
What's not to say about these two?
Not everyone makes it to adulthood with 2 good strong, supportive and loving parents - but we did, and I am so grateful.
This weekend I had a blast with my parents, shopping a big sale at Old Navy. We spent way too much time sifting through jean sizes and sweaters and line ups and change-rooms and the mess that is a large store with a 50% off sale on a Saturday -- and we laughed through it all. Mel was patient with my mom and I as we passed him shirt after shirt to try on and my mom was adventurous in trying anything new I suggested to her -- thus indulging my deep love of shopping (another gratitude post, I'm sure!). On the drive home, I was struck by the fact that we found such joy in such a simple time.
As individuals, my parents are both committed to Jesus, family and each other - and as parents, they are committed to loving my brother, me and everyone we have brought into the fold throughout the years - from friends to spouses to new babies.
They love fiercely and they listen to God even more-so. They are selfless, strong, wise and fun and I am thankful to call them mine!
Here's to good family!
Day 4
And for this day, this lovely sunny November day...I am thankful for Sundays; a day of rest. I am thankful for days off, and quiet hours.
When I got home from church today, I read a little bit, sent a few emails and then found my way to my bed, while my husband and son were out on an adventure and just had a quiet, still afternoon. In God's infinite wisdom, He, too, rested after a week of work - an example I'm thankful for, as it's not always easy for me to slow things down, relax and unwind.
So, rest and family. Two good things to be grateful for.
I go to bed this Sunday feeling blessed, thankful and ready for a new week!
What are you grateful for this weekend?
