Remember our Tree of Thanks? Over the past few weeks, it has gotten full of leaves, each declaring a gratitude. Things like:
opportunities to be humbled
crackers
family
my Wednesday lunch friends
paper towels
date nights
Jesus
a warm house, though it’s snowy outside
God’s word
grace to make it to naptimes
Gratitude is a key ingredient to joy, wouldn’t you agree? I am learning that the more I choose to practice it–in my heart, in my prayers, and especially in my words–the more I get to eat of its fruit.
Enjoy this little Happy Thanksgiving from our family here in Colorado. (And yes, I recognize that their outfits–sundresses and Star Wars pajamas with bulky snow boots– are much more real-life than Norman Rockwell. But, I guess I can be thankful for that, too.)
May your cup runneth over, friends–and may you recognize it–during this season of thanks. Have a great, grateful Thursday.
