Today I am giving thanks for: Grace. Crafting. Holidays.

I am so thankful for the grace of God. He loves me regardless. 

I am not worthy of His grace. but He has given it anyway.

I mess up daily. but He forgives me each time I ask.

I just have to accept His grace. and ask His forgiveness.

I have lots rambling around in my head – but I don’t have the inclination to work through it right now. But I will. There are just so many things going on and I’m a slow processor. I need time to think. and I’m tired of talking.

Also, I’m asking for grace from all of you – after today I’m not going to post for a few days. We are planning to have Christmas with mom & dad and my brother, his wife & their girls on Thanksgiving. I’ll be crafting. My fingers will be busy. My mouth will be quiet. My mind will race and process. My heart will be content.

I don’t typically buy gifts – we make them. But, I can’t keep up with being a good mom, homeschooling, working, crafting, blogging, and keep up on the house. This year, my brother convinced my parents to draw names. We are only doing a gift for one person. I tried really hard to be agreeable. I just can’t. It ruins the idea of gift giving at Christmas to me to only be allowed to give one gift. 🙂 So, my deadline is three days away… I need to get started. Hardcore! I only have 3 weeks to get the other kids’ blankets made too, ‘cuz mom & dad will take them when they go.

I hope and pray you have a blessed & happy Thanksgiving.

A day of sharing with others. If you don’t have someplace to go – why not invite others over? Remember, you don’t need to have lots of space or fancy things. Just open your home and heart – choose to share what you have. You will all be blessed in the sharing and getting to know each other better. We were created for relationship. First, a relationship with HIM; secondly, a relationship with other believers.
