Last week Lydia was off of school for Thanksgiving. And it was so fun to just ramble around the house and run errands and just be together. I downloaded the new #1000gifts app and it’s got me taking more pictures (altho’ sometimes I can’t actually get it up on the app!) and more aware of things (people) I’m thankful for. So, here are a few pictures from the last few days–pictures that show why my heart is so full of joy and thanksgiving!
Ready?
Top Ten Things, People and Places I’m So Thankful For
1. Mommy and Asa Days
2. How Operation Christmas Child & Its Volunteers Teach My Kids To Serve
3. The 16 Countries That Over 1 Million Shoeboxes Will Be Shipped To JUST From the Atlanta Processing Center!
4. Impromptu Visits to Papa’s Office & Shop
5. Buying Milk, Eggs & Veggies from a Local Farmer
6. Seeing God’s Word All Around Us (that’s a fence at the park!)
7. Muppets Fingernail Polish (I got Pepe’s Purple Passion, of course!)
8. Stores That Celebrate One Holiday At a Time (that would be Nordstrom, y’all)
9. Buzzhive.net (the amazingly creative place that designed Truth in the Tinsel & fixed iPad problems on Black Friday!)
10. Truth in the Tinsel Facebook Page (Over 1800 participants who want to impress God’s greatest gift onto their kids’ hearts!)
That’s all, folks! What are you thankful for this week?

What a great list, Amanda!! We do have so many things to be thankful for in our lives. And so many opportunities to serve and share with others.

I am thankful for God’s provision, even when our situation and our goals have seemed impossible. Over and over I have been reminded of the truth of Philippians 4:19.

Love that fence in the park
Checking out the Truth in the Tinsel book etc – hoping to join in from Ireland.
I love the new book. It is beautiful and very well done. I can’t wait to go through it with the kidlets this year. Thank you.

I love seeing that list of countries for the shoe boxes! Such an exciting ministry.
And that fence is awesome! I’ve never seen anything like it. How’d you get such blond kiddos?? LOL

Beautiful blessings – the fence…I’ve never seen one like it…that is amazing!
The fence at the park is amazing! How inspiring and comforting. Great list this week!
I noted the same thing about Nordstrom. I was in there a few days before Thanksgiving….not one decoration. I came back on Black Friday and it was all decorated–I really loved that!
