Thankful

Sitting on the couch watching the sunshine turn into a thunderstorm is glorious. The smell of the rain hitting the warm ground is one of the best and it has left me thinking of some of the things I have to be thankful for.

 Thankful for times when I can share a giant donut with the love of my life. 

 Thankful for bath times to relax and forget about all the worries in the world.

 Thankful for times when God teaches me wonderful things about being a women of God. 

This book is great, based on Titus 2

 Thankful for puppies that make our hearts melt and love us without judgement.

 Thankful for hair styling to lift my spirits and make the wedding feel even more closer.

Thankful for game nights with friends.

 Thankful for anniversary dates with Mr J and spontateous Christmas light hunting. 

Thankful for the Christmas season coming up fast. 

A season to celebrate Jesus's birth and the act of giving. 

& always thankful for a wonderful family. 

Gratitude turns everything into enough. 

What have you been thankful for lately? Big or small. 

Thankful

Dear Em, thank you for inspiring me to write a little letter to the things I love. Dear Mum and Dad, I miss you but thank you for your ongoing support no matter how long we spend apart. Dear Milk Bath, you are so talented in the way you relax and moisturise. Thanks.  Dear Braid, thank you for leaving my hair untangled and wavy. Dear Loz Pfitz, thank you for our recent coffee and shopping date. You are a big bundle of joy with an impressive bruise the size of a pumpkin. Dear Young Adults Retreat, you arrive tomorrow. Thank you for providing us time to relax by the river with some incredible people. Dear Mr J, thank you for letting me sqeeze your arm when I'm scared, thank you for reminding me of the things I have to be thankful for and thank you for sleep overs when you wake me up with a kiss on the cheek.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things" ~ Phillipians 4:8

Feeling magic

Tuesday I began my Christmas shopping and gift wrapping. Presents under the Christmas tree makes everything feel a little bit more magic. 27 days to go. 

Wednesday night finished with Mr J and I travelling to the other side of town for a delicious home cooked meal made by our friends Alex and Alex. It was a wonderful change of scenery for great conversation and company. Feeling extremely blessed.
