It's refreshing to focus on being thankful when we live in a world that pushes entitlement and our right to be blessed and get what we want.

I might add 'Deeper Places' to my 'to read' list.<br />And I'm thankful for the fun of living with a household of young people, aged 9 to 23. Keeps life interesting.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-77025301168151570392014-01-14T02:13:06.173-08:002014-01-14T02:13:06.173-08:00Thank you Dale!

I was so thankful to have my youngest son and daughter-in-law from Finland, my oldest son and his wife who've just moved up from Cape Town and their two sons aged 3,5 yrs and 6 weeks (yesterday - 3 weeks at Christmas), as well as my aging parent. We certainly had a full house but it was wonderful.<br /><br />I love where you stay - what a blessing. And I particularly love the pictures of the sunset you posted - reminds me of the new story I'm working on titled "Pink Skies".<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. We certainly do have so much to be grateful for. God is good!Marionuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499912075396841982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-74038438591350498182014-01-13T23:58:58.360-08:002014-01-13T23:58:58.360-08:00What a wonderful reminder, to be grateful!

I'm thankful for my family and the chance to have all my kids home for the holidays. I'm thankful for technology and the chance to communicate when they aren't at home. I'm thankful for my health and the chance to do what I love. Happy New Year!Lisa Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358581487206184033noreply@blogger.com
