I am still mulling over ideas in my head about the purpose for this blog. I am still using that freewebs page for family updates, but this spot keeps yelling at me to write.
I need to be consciously thankful. So. Here I am going to write about stuff I am thankful for. So why am I still mulling over this idea? Not sure of the format. Do I do "Favorite Things" or "Stuff I Like" or "For this I am grateful" or "I. Am. Thankful. For. (the following)." It really does make a difference. Not really. But yes. Because in my HEAD it is different and that is what matters. Right?
I have so much to be thankful for that I don't know where to begin. Just this evening I was watching a DVD that I am going to show to the youth at my church in preparation and as part of the 30 Hour Famine (partnering with NCM) we are participating in a couple weeks from now. It was hard not to cry! Kids who have absolutely nothing and I have food scrapings to send down my garbage disposal. 29,000 kids die EACH DAY do to hunger and malnutrition...
If you happen to stumble across this blog please take the time to follow the link to World Vision and check out their orginization and how you can make a difference in the life of a child: be it through sponsoring a child, or participating in the 30 Hour Famine. World Vision is a charity organization that I believe in. Do check out thier site for more information. There are two main issues that tug at my heart: kids who go hungry and kids who don't have education. WV addresses both needs and more.
So yeah. I am thankful for my God, family, food, a nice place to live (even with those bugs I always complain about), nice weather, etc!
Feel free to comment with what you are thankful for. It is healthy to be thankful. Take the first step and let me know what makes you say "thank you!"
