I’m linking this post up today with Tara at Undeserving Grace and 3 Thinking Mothers. I’m enjoying all the Thankful link-ups and themes that November has brought!
This post is being written on about 3 hours of sleep, so it will be short, sweet, and to the point! Today I am so very grateful for:
- Opportunities to witness the strength, courage, determination, and perseverance of ordinary, but amazing, birthing women
- A husband who “gets” my love of all things birth-related and encourages me to pursue my heart’s passions
- This lady, and also This lady who inspire me to “Just keep running, running, running…” (Are you picturing Dorie?)
- The uplifting Relevant posts I’ve been reading this week
- The slow but steady transition away from textbook/workbook schooling to unit studies, interest-driven learning, and creative varieties of study.
- Classic cartoons and tv shows (What are some of your favorites? We like Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, The Andy Griffith Show, and I Love Lucy.)
- The servant’s heart encased in my youngest daughter’s self
- Wrestling matches with her dad that my 13-year-old is not too old for
- Examples in Scripture of those who learned lessons of patience and grace
I hope you can find things, large and small, to be thankful for today.
Lovely thoughts! Really made me think about what I am thankful for and I appreciate that. Go get some sleep! You deserve a rest. 🙂
I’m glad it was helpful for inspiring thankfulness! : ) I actually did get a short nap, which felt wonderful!
Thank you for linking up!! We are also trying to switch from textbooks to more interest-led learning. Ah, it’s really me…my kids would do it in a heartbeat! But I am trying to let go of my view of “what school should be”!
I’m so glad you started the link-up!
Um, yeah, it’s been me too that’s been the hold up for letting go of the “traditional” for school. My kids have been really appreciative of the changes so far!
I hope by now you have gotten some rest!
Your list is so heartful. Reading it makes ME feel your gratitude, only in my skin. Great to “meet” you today!
Thanks for stopping by! I was able to get a nap in, which felt wonderful.

Such a wonderful list of blessings! I’m thankful that we chat as often as we do 🙂
I’m thankful for that too! : )

Lisa –
I love what you say about moving to unit studies and interest led learning and away from workbooks. Wow. That’s a huge step, but one that is so beneficial for our children. We are doing this, too – and I can see my children blossoming because of it.
Thanks for linking up with Three Thinking Mothers, and have a wonderful weekend!
Such a great list of things to be grateful for:) Thanks for sharing! Over the years, we’ve shifted to interest led learning and a unit study approach to learning. I have no regrets when I see my girls truly finding enjoyment in learning!
We love classic tv too- right now the girls (and Daddy) are on a mission to watch every single episode of The Andy Griffith Show on Netflix. We’ll see how far they get with that:) I love reruns of Lucy- the girls and I laugh uncontrollably at the messes she gets into. Our favorite is the chocolate factory episode!
