Thankful Thursday

We have so much to be thankful for. And asI was thinking about that I thought why not on a weekly basis take some time and really think about what I'm thankful for. So here is thankful Thursday. Let's hope this becomes a tradition, we will see :) 

1. That my little baby boy is alive and healthy. That he is eating well and sleeping well (most of the time)

2. That I have a helpful husband. He may not be able to hear the baby cry at night, but if I wake him to help me he does, and usually with enthusiasm! Which I think is because he is still half asleep but none the less it's appreciated!

3. For soothers. I know there are probably a lot of moms out there who cringe at the thought of using a soother- but my baby loves his soother! And it helps him calm down. Plus, once he is calm he spits it out, an added bonus.

4. The fall weather. I love it! The leaves are changing and it takes my breath away! Fall is my favourite. Hello scarf and sweater weather! 

5. Coffee. I didn't drink much of it when I was pregnant, but man am I enjoying it now! Plus, it doesn't seem to be effecting the little one which is awesome! Please stay that way :)

6. A full fridge and freezer. We have so much, and regretfully I very often feel like we deserve more. But we have everything we need, and so much more. 

7. My family. Our family. We are surrounded by so many who love and support us. It has been especially evident these past few weeks. Our family has helped us out so much and I have been so blessed by them! 

8. The body of believers. Whether near or far I'm always amazed how God uses his people to pray for and encourage one another. I have been encouraged lately by other believing moms, there struggles and accomplishments with being new moms and there willingness to pray for me. We need one another and I'm so thankful for how we can support each other! 

9. Two years of marriage. Compared to my parents recent 25th anniversary 2 years doesn't seem like much, but hey 25 years has to start somewhere! I'm thankful for my husband, he is such a God given gift! 

10. For Jesus. His forgiveness and his willingness to love a sinner like me. I'm so undeserving. I'm thankful that because of his death and resurrection I can now approach the throne of grace with confidence! I couldn't make it through my days without talking to him and laying my burdens at his feet. What a wonderful Saviour.
