Today I am grateful for tiny baby wiggles. I never tire of feeling a baby move. (OK, well maybe sometimes in the middle of the night.) But it is so reassuring to know that my unborn little one is safe and well. By Kristen H.
I remember sitting in an airport sometime around 1992, when for some reason, I got into a conversation with a man who was reading a book by someone I had never heard of: David Barton. This man very excitedly shared with me all he was learning about our Founding Fathers and their intentions for our…
Well, here I am doing 2 days at once again. I did spend time yesterday thinking about what I was going to post, but I never did post it. I’m thankful first to God for my salvation. I take it for granted way too often. It is simply incredible to think that God would reach…
Today was a day I’d been looking forward to. It was our annual Ladies Soup Luncheon at church. This year I got to decorate for the event (along with another lady), and we had a great time doing it. It was a small event, the church is small anyway, but there were a lot of…

Today I am thankful for a husband that not only wants to spend time with me, but has time to spend with me this evening. So I’d better go 🙂 By Kristen H.
Brenda at Garden of Learning is hosting a gratitude challenge for the month of November. I’ve participated in a similar challenge for the past couple of Novembers. I find it to be a great exercise to take the time to remember some things I’m thankful for, so I’ll do my best to post daily. My…
Why call it a “Mental Health Day”? This was the term some of the teachers my husband used to work with used when they were taking a sick day when the weren’t really “sick”. My borrowing the term does not mean that I condone this use of sick days, but I did get my “sick”…
