There are only two months left in the year.
The last couple months have come with mixed emotions here in our house. Homeschooling is harder than we were hoping, yet at the same time it comes with even greater rewards than we thought it would. Some days are way better than others and some days make us just want to climb back in bed and cry our eyes out with frustration.
Speaking of frustration, recently we had to deal with replacing the transmission in our primary vehicle, the '04 Honda Odyssey. After paying for WAY more than we intended and dealing with ridiculous obstacle after obstacle (like getting our transmission accidentally sent to Washington......we live in Oregon), we finally have a working vehicle again. We've owned the van for about three and a half years and up until October had absolutely no trouble with it at all. It still holds the record as the most reliable vehicle we've ever owned despite it's tranny trouble. On a slight side note, there are lots of ways to test a person's attitude, but I think car trouble has got to be somewhere near the top. My husband and I had many opportunities to practice our virtue muscles!
Well, looking back on that whole trial and with this being the beginning of the Thanksgiving month, I have decided to post at least one thing every day that I'm grateful for. After all, God is good ALL the time, right? This month will be my 30 days of Gratitude. Feel free to join me! If you do, please add a link to your post in the comments to this one. I would love to read what you all are thankful for.
So.......here goes (one for yesterday and another for today):
November 1:
I am immensely thankful that today was a far better day than yesterday. His mercies are truly new every single morning.
November 2:
Today, I am grateful that the sun came out even though it's quite cold outside. Sunshine always brightens everyone's spirits. It's made today better than it was.
Ok, there you have it. Let's hear what you're thankful for................
