30 Days

Last November I did a photography project called 30 days of Gratitude. (Not everyone makes it a photography project, but that's me...) You may have noticed people facebooking or tweeting about how they are thankful for certain things each day. I wish I was more focused on being thankful all the time, but the month containing Thanksgiving is a good place to start.

There are a lot of things I am thankful for right now. Some of them are simple, like sitting at the kitchen table eating PB&J with my kiddos, or chocolate cake and coffee. And other things are more complex like my salvation, the love of my little family, healthy kids and paid bills. So many things I don't deserve and take for granted that I want to start noticing. What are some things you are thankful for today?

"Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon His name; make known his deeds among the peoples!" :: Psalm 105.1
