This month has my one of my favorite holidays in it--Thanksgiving! It's usually around this time that I start thinking more about gratitude and about all the blessings the Lord has given to us throughout the past year(s). So, today's post is rather simple but meaningful, too! I'll be sharing just a few of the things I'm thankful for this year, in no particular order. Here we go! My Family One of the highlights of the year was July 20, 2021 when we added another sister to our family! She's happy and healthy and is growing so fast! She gets endless attention, too. Being in a big family is awesome! There's never a dull moment and there's usually lots of laughter and fun during the holidays. They're the best! :) Spiritual Growth There are so many things I've gleaned from reading the Bible this year. Above all, that our God is faithful and He is right there with us in every wonderful and difficult season we pass through. He is amazing, the more I get to know Him. Creation I've witnessed some beautiful sunrises and sunsets this past summer and autumn. I never realized before, but in observing the sunsets, I've noticed every one of them is different. There are no two alike, just like other things in creation. Every time I see one of these glorious shows, I'm reminded of Psalm 113:3. :) The Montrose Christian Writer's Conference! This past summer, I was so blessed to be able to attend the 32nd annual Montrose Christian Writer's Conference! I learned a lot from the vast array of authors and editors who came and was encouraged to keep on writing for the Lord. Sometimes, it's hard to write when discouragement or doubt hits, so this was a good place to send those thoughts out the door! ;) Books
Fiction and non-fiction alike, I've learned some helpful life and spiritual lessons from these dedicated authors. Even more, the authors themselves are wonderful testimonies to imitate and learn from as I seek publication in the future. :) What about you? What are some things you are thankful for this year? I'd love it if you would share some of them with me in the comments!
