Some December thanks

It's been a while since I blogged a Multitude Monday post... not that there hasn't been a multitude of gifts, just not much time for editing and uploading pictures, typing out blog posts and making it look good.  Even now, I am not sure this is the best use of my time, but I want to keep counting and sharing my gifts with you!

I find it easiest to remember when I take pictures, but sometimes the pictures are blurry... still I want to give thanks for December, for Advent, for remembering Jesus' birth and coming to earth...

for traditions

Christmas lights

Christmas cookies (for breakfast, snacks and dessert)

family time
decorating the tree

babies (only one in particular, my nephew)

For monkey bread made in bread pans

 

For Christmas concerts and Christmas pageants

for animated little girls

little big boys with lots of memorized lines

laughter

Christmas parties

abundance of food

friends

for slowing down

For family walks... long ones!

For God's creation

walking sticks

Pictures for memories

abundance of life and blessings with family

GOOD pizza from Western New York (and REALLY GOOD wings!)

my kids with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins

For a Keurig ... it's silly how much fun it is to have a cup of coffee when it's this easy... and no leftovers!

for jewelry boxes for my girls to decorate

nerf gun for my son (that my hubby likes to use)

books that my 6YO reads over and over

new clothes

craft/cardmaking supplies

for gifts

for my chickens surviving us being gone for 3 days

for freshly washed chicken eggs

for homemade eggnog... with backyard eggs

for a 2000 piece puzzle... that still isn't done 4 days later and is really cramping our meal time :)

finding just the piece I'm looking for

my kids helping to sort pieces and finding the missing edges

for fancy chocolate

for parking places
rain
stressing over "perfect" events
letting perfect go
striving for GRACE... giving grace, receiving God's grace daily
getting bills paid on time
for counting again...


I would love to hear... what gifts did God give you recently? What are you thankful for?
