A Thankful Heart

I don't know what it is about November but this month just begs us to be thankful, it could have something to do with Thanksgiving and I'm sure that plays a small role, but my heart is beating with gratitude, daily. I think Thanksgiving just reminds us that we need to show it, live it and reap it more. A thankful heart never forgets......

Last year I did a month of Thanksgiving and it proved to many that by vocalizing just one gratitude moment each day, allowed us to look for more ways to pay thanks forward. I end each day in prayer and gratitude, I sleep well.

To honor this month of Thanksgiving, I'm hosting a quickie giveaway with gratitude in mind, because I am grateful for all of you, I am a better woman because of blogging. And I love to give stuff away! So, no special instructions for this one, just leave a comment on this post and I'll choose a winner on Sunday and ship out your giftie on Monday so you have in time for Thanksgiving. Post away!

  10. How wonderful it is to read a blog like yours! I too, have been posting things that I am grateful for - I think it really helps me put things into perspective, don't you?

  11. Dear Sue, I've over from another of my friends (Back Porch Pleasures) and stopped in to say hello. We're doing a Thanksgiving Challenge (year 3) at our blogs, but new blogs are a treat and something to be thankful for! Now I can't wait to peruse the prior posts (staring at those scrumptious biscuits!)

  18. Good Morning, Ms Sue!
    I agree, November is a good time to start "a attitude of gratitude" habit. I'm working on mine, it really does feel better to dwell on your blessings! :)

  19. I agree Sue :) With all of the distractions of the world, we sometimes tend to take our focus off of what really matters. I thank God and praise Him for everything! He is my life, my stronghold, my everything. He has blessed me beyond measure and is so faithful! Thank you Jesus! I like the idea of having a Praise Journal or Joy Journal to write in before bed :) I'm working on making one :)

    Have a blessed day Sue and thank you for such an encouraging post :)

  20. Hey Friend Sue!

    I know exactly what you mean about thankfulness.

    This time of year my thoughts are turned to so many of the folks who have made an impact on my life.

    God blesses us daily!

    Thank YOU for being my friend!

  21. Somehow this time of the year makes thanksgiving easier. Makes me think of song we used to sing in church -
    Give Thanks with a grateful heart. Discovered your blog this week. Enjoy it,

    This is the first time I've read your blog - I knew if Back Porch Musings mentioned it, it would be good and indeed it was. I haven't been thankful enough recently and needed your reminder of everyone and everything I've been blessed with in my life. See (or read) you again soon.

  24. If you look hard I think everyone can have something to have gratitude for even with life isn't going well. I have gratitude that I live in the USA and am free.

  25. I agree whole heartedly. My daughter posts a gratitude post for every day of November. It makes you realize that you really are blessed more than you think. My father was from the Ozarks, some of the best people around.

  26. Thank you for your blog. I just discovered it. I dont' even remember the former blog I was on, but they had you as a link, something about blueberry bread pudding!! Yum, yum. And with fresh blueberries from our shrub, I bet they will be delicious. I will bookmark you so I can return and feel the comfort of your blog.
