We all know what tomorrow is, well in the US anyway, its Thanksgiving. It is wonderful that we have set a day to show how thankful we are for everything God has given us, although we shouldn’t only show it on the third Thursday in November but I am thankful for the day that we have set aside to really show how thankful we are. This week’s Homeschool Memoirs really allows us to show how much of A Thankful Heart we really have:
This week, you guessed it, is going to be about having a thankful heart! Yes, of course, we should always be thankful for everything we’re blessed with, but it’s not too often we actually sit and ponder what. This week please join me in writing 27 things you’re thankful (There’s got to be at least 27things!). I picked 27 because this year Thanksgiving is on the 27th of November. Also, share a Scripture verse for this week!
I am not sure I can squeeze everything I am thankful for in 27 spaces, but I can say the things I am MOST thankful for! :)

1. The amazing gift Christ offers: Salvation
2. A loving God who will take me back even when I stray away.
3. A wonderful family.
4. Caleb, my dude even when he is running around late at night and we want to strap him to the wall.
5. LillieGirl, my Sweetness!
6. My awesome Vostro.
7. A wonderful house that is warm and cozy even if its a mess.
8. Winter. Yes, even if I absolutely hate the cold, I am thankful for it because it reminds me how much I LOVE summer.
9. For vacuums and brooms and dustpans because I can’t stand dirty floors.
10. Finding organic face care, so I can be healthy inside and out.
11. For all the things God is showing me and doing for me, even the painful ones.
12. For sweet friends like Misty and SisterLisa.
13. For the opportunity to minister and be ministered through blogging.
14. That God supplies all our needs.
15. For little packages in the mail.
16. For little encouraging emails from friends I love.
17. For a washer and dryer and the 10 loads of laundry I do everyday.
18. Raspberry Tea and hot coffee with Hazelnut creamer.
19. Not having to get a job to provide for myself.
20. Being homeschooled and graduating with honors.
21. For all the warm blankets I have gotten or made: Handmade Quilt, BIP afghan, Superman fleece, and leopard fleece.
22. Having Grandma here to go to the store with me.
23. Food. I love food and am so glad that God gives us the food we need!
24. For hardships and trials that God allows us to walk through. They make us stronger when we finish!
25. Caleb and LillieGirl’s kisses!
26. For the Word of God. That I can read it and know what He wants of me.
27. For the Wonderful Life I have!
2 Corinthians 9:11
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
What are you thankful for?

    Greetings Amanda,
    I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I’m looking forward to ours…..we do it a little diffrent each year, because everyother year it is either my mom’s side of the family or my Dad’s side of the family… this year it is with my Dad’s side at our house, so everything all ready for party. :) We got most of the food done today,…

    I enjoyed reading your list of what you are thankful for….
    Right on, I too am so thankful that the Lord takes me back even when I stray away.

    Oh, this is random, but you said you used organic face care? What kind of you use? If you don’t mind me asking… I’m looking for some new stuff, but I haven’t found anything yet.

    Take care! Enjoy your Thanksgiving meal…
