What are you grateful for today? That's what I asked my kids. One of them said, "Spider Man." Another said, "That I don't have to go to school. (She's home sick)" Not quite what I had in mind. Sometimes gratefulness is a choice. Especially when you are in over your head in a difficult time of life. Today, I am grateful for faith in a God who is forgiving and loves me as I am, my kids, a husband who is a hardworker and full of integrity and for a great community of neighbors and friends who are willing to walk life alongside me with all my junk. So, I ask again, what are you grateful for today? Hope your thanksgiving is a reflective one of the blessings in your lives. Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a great Pumpkin Muffin recipe both you and your kids will love.
