November Gratitude Journal

Woo hoo!  2 days in a row, I am on a roll. (I will not push my luck for 3 days!)

#4 Being Catholic.  There are so many amazing and beautiful ways that the Catholic church leads you closer and closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ.  The more I learn, the more I love Him.  If anyone ever has any doubts on the authenticity of the Catholic church or just wants to ask some "why do you do this?" type questions, let me know.  I LOVE talking about my faith :)

#5 Coffee.  Do I really need to explain this one??  Didn't think so.

#6  A new friend named Sarah.  God truly had his hand in leading us to meet one another.  I am so blessed to be able to welcome her into my life.  I look forward to getting to know her and her sweet family better.

#7 The Women of Christ conference.  It is not until tomorrow, but I have a feeling I will be too busy to post about it tomorrow.  It's only 10 minutes from my house and it is a wonderful faith filled day with so many amazing speakers.  I am truly looking forward to it.

November Gratitude Journal

Here it is--November again.  I have barely posted this year and I really did such a horrible job of keeping up my gratitude journal for 2011.  It is certainly not for lack of things to be grateful for, but for lack of time to put my usually scattered thoughts together and type them out!  I will try to be a little more dedicated to it this year.  So, here goes:

#1  Listening to my 3 girls singing in the church choir last night at Mass for the Vigil of All Saints' Day.  They look so sweet up there and the choir truly brings a lot to our Masses. 

#2  Heat and electricity.  So many on the east coast are without these basic things.  I am praying for them all that things get up and running quickly.  From what I hear, tempers are starting to fly, we must pray for peace.  So many bad things can happen to people in times of trouble, by also, so many good things.  Humanity can show the good, the bad and the ugly at times like these.  We need to pray for SO much of the good.

#3  Our sweet Lord Jesus.  Every day I am allowed to wake up and start fresh, the problems of yesterday wiped clean.  Thank you for Your sacrifice, my Lord and my God.

"Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen." Revelation 7:12
