Closing the month in Gratitude

 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good." -Psalm 107:1

The last day of the month always feels like a threshold - one foot in what has been, one foot stepping into what's next. Today I am taking some time to look back over all the blessings that came in January. Not with a critical eye, but a grateful one. No month is perfect, but all months are full of God's goodness in ways we don't always recognize in the moment. i

There are small victories, quiet joys, unexpected lessons, and moments of grace that carry us through harder days. Even challenges have a way of shaping us, reminding us of our dependence on God and the strength He provides. As I reflect, I realize how much beauty there is in simply acknowledging what God has done - not rushing past it, not minimizing it, but naming it with gratitude. 

Greenville has a way of grounding me in this practice. The familiar drives, the cozy corners of home, the gentle rhythms of our days - they all remind me that gratitude isn't about grand gestures. It's about the goodness woven into the ordinary that shapes our days, weeks, months, and years. 

As you go through today, think about one thing from January that you can be grateful for. It doesn't have to be grand. Just something.

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home!

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
