Every year I see people on their Facebook pages or on their blogs finding something to be thankful for everyday for the month of November, and I think, "Next year, I'm gonna do that!" And then I forget until mid-November of the next year.
But not this year! This year, I'm going to try to have 30 days of "Thankful" posts. Oh sure, I'll probably miss a few days, but I hope to double up when I get back to it. I even already kind of forgot since Halloween is so crazy busy and I was too tired to sit down and do it last night. But I'm back on the wagon so here goes.
Day 1:
I'm thankful for our Small Group.
We joined this Small Group just before Phoebe was born. When Phoebe took her first steps at Small Group surrounded by people who loved her, I realized that this was family. For better or worse, we were forever connected to these people.
They know and love and pray for my children. They make me think and get uncomfortable and grow. They keep me connected to our church when I just don't want to be connected. They indulge my control-issues and let me have Small Group at my house so I can cook for them because I won't cook at someone else's house. They don't use my Christmas mugs when it's not the Christmas season (even though Adam and Tim always try).
For the past several years, we've eaten dinner together on Halloween and then gone Trick-or-Treating. So. Much. Fun.
Look how cute they are!
