30 Days of Thanksgiving

So----This time of year, I typically post on my facebook status each day what I am thankful for. My awesome sister gave me the idea to blog about it, so I can look back someday and see what I was thankful for--and she what has changed:)

Day 1: I am thankful for my job. Not just to have one, but getting to go to work each day and do what I absolutely love to do--shape the minds of young children. It is so rewarding to see the small gains they make each day that it brings tears to my eyes all of the time! They are such great kids and I love teaching kids. Especially those iwth special needs. I never pictured myself in this position--maybe Kindergarten or something--but God definitely called me to be here for a reason. And, for right now, my heart is content!

Day 2: Today I am thankful for my "home". Not just the house and its warmth, but more importantly, the love and joy that fills it. Today I gave Luke the usual kiss goodbye, and I just looked back as I was walking out of the room at him and Rye laying in bed. What a beautiful picture :) I love to come home to them and am so thankful for having a place to live. There are so many people in this world who do not have homes or are living month to month to have a home. I am so blessed to have shelter especially as the weather grows colder!
