A Lesson inThanksgiving

This month I opted to join on the Facebook Thanksgiving bandwagon and post something I am thankful for each day of the month. I thought at the beginning, this will just make me be more conscious of what I have. As the month has progressed,I have found that actually taking the time each day to sit down and write about something I am thankful for has made me really think about my struggle I have with being content. I wish that there was a contentment pill that I could just run to the cabinet and take when I felt the feeling of discontent welling up. My quest for contentment will continue through constant thanksgiving. Seeing ways that God has blessed and touched the tapestry of my life brings so much gratitude to my heart and I am truly humbled by His blessings. I am sure I will still see the things that are "wrong" around my house, but I will be thankful that my house is dry and warm. I will remember that I have a home that many would love to have. Contentment through thanksgiving....lesson learned. Now to just remember this lesson the next time my boys come in covered in mud and I start thinking we need an all new house with a bigger mud room.
