1000 things for which to be thankful

Posted in blessings

In keeping with this season of Thanksgiving I am following the lead of Ann V. at Listening and making a list of those things for which I am thankful. My goal is 1000, without repeating anything....I figure if I can think of 3 things each day then it will take me about 1 year to accomplish this goal. I intend to posts my list here as often as I can (the wee chick is still rather demanding of my limited time...and blogging just isn't high on her list of priorities...yet!). And don't look for any that are too personal in nature...I won't be listing those...remember my websleuthing incident?



...Psalm 107:8
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His Lovingkindness And for His wonders to the sons of men!


Annyhoo...here are my first three:

1. A Merciful Savior who loves me, warts and all.

2. A godly husband who loves me, warts and all.

3. Healthy children, who love me, warts and all

Those are the easiest and most obvious things...I suspect as my list grows it will become more challenging not to repeat myself.
I hope this inspires you to start your own list. Leave a comment if it does and I'll link to your blog so we can all be encouraged by one another.
Let's start a revolution....a revolution of Thankfulness...what beter way to give glory and honor to the One from whom all blessings flow.

About Me

Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...

Words to Ponder

The morning wind forever blows; the poem of the world is uninterrupted, but few are the ears that hear it. ~Thoreau

The writer studies literature not the world...He is careful what he reads, for that is what he will write. ~Annie Dillard

About our homeschool

First and foremost we strive to instill in our children a deep and abiding love of God and a saving faith in Christ Jesus. And toward that end we use a mixture of the Classical Christian and Charlotte Mason approaches to homeschooling. We place a high level of importance upon reading the bible and good literature, keeping away from twaddle as much as possible! We study Latin and Poetry, Shakespeare and Geography, Writing and Math and Science, too! We try to incorporate Nature Studies as much as time and Babycakes will allow. And we study history in a 4-year cycle, repeating each time period (Ancients, Middle ages/Renaissance & Reformation, Colonial/Early American History, Modern) 3 times over the course of 12 years. We try to allow our children the time to really explore what interests them and time to just be kids.
