IMG_3107.JPG

Today I give thanks for our Doodle Bug. Since the day she came into our life, she brings extra joy! She is curious and love to explore. She is a quick learner, too. God blesses her in so many ways!

I am a blessed mother in many ways. God teach me every day how much He loves me through my daughters.

He teaches me how much He always wants to be with us every second, every minute, every moment.

He will always be there to teach us, to care for us and to guide us.

Today I am giving thanks for this silky big girl! Since the first time I held her in my arms, I don’t wanna let her go. She will always be my baby girl.

I am blessed God chose me to be her mother. Watching her growing up is something I won’t to miss a thing.

Now, she is at Kindergarten and she LOVES it! She always says, “Today was a bestest day!” (She also loves making up word!)

She is growing up so quick, I think just to fast for me to catch up with her progress.

I thank God for giving her into our life.

30 Days Give Thanks: Day 1

November is here. Trees at our backyard are loosing their leaves, pretty much almost all gone. The ground covers with colorful leaves, big and small. And we have cold cold cold rainy days in the last week of October welcoming this month.

Thanksgiving is just right in front of our door. To encourage and teach our little ones to thank God for His blessings in their lives, we start a tradition to share 1 thing what we thankful for when we sit down before dinner. Starting today.

We do not only thank God for who He is and for what He has done in our lives in the month of November, but it is God’s will for each of us to give thanks in all circumstances, every single moment in our lives.

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬ NLT)

During this thanksgiving month, I would love to take a change sharing with you what I am thankful for every day, the things that God has blessed me and my family in this year.

I stat with giving thanks for my husband. He is an answer to my prayer long before we met. Every day I thank my God for him, his love, patient, and for who he is in Christ Jesus. And he loves cooking, too! So thankful to be his wife and he is my husband! We celebrated our 6th years this year.

What do you thank God for today?
