Throughout the month of November our topic each week at The Loft will be THANKFULNESS. Any post on thankfulness will be a beautiful addition to our link-up this month.
Today, I want to offer a list of 20 things for which I am thankful. It is certainly not an exhaustive list, but just what hits my heart in the moment:
That Jesus saved me and puts up with me
My husband…that he puts up with me
My health…I’ve always been blessed with good health and I do not take that for granted
Good jobs – Greg and I are extremely blessed
My Bible…I do not take for granted the fact that I have Bibles everywhere in my home. Some people have no access to Bibles.
My kids…Bree, Charlie, Parker, Coleson, Kalem, Emily, and so many more who I love and pray for on a regular basis
Bible study girls…oh what a blessing they are to me!
Indoor plumbing! Oh don’t look at me like that. You are thankful for indoor plumbing, too!
Autumn color and temperatures
Upcoming ministry opportunities – I will be speaking in Blairsville in November and December, and in LaGrange, Georgia in December!
My publisher, Warner Press, and my editor, Karen Rhodes
Godly mentors
My parents and grandparents
A Christian heritage – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc
Toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, running water and other items for personal hygiene
Good books – getting ready to begin reading Brennan Manning’s The Ragamuffin Gospel.
Ample food
Christian music
Opportunities to mentor
Redemption and do-overs – oh how I have needed these in my journey!
No doubt, I could go on and on. Perhaps I will dedicate another post here at The Loft to my list of things for which I am thankful.
I’m eager to read your post, friends, so link up using the linky at the bottom of my post. Have a wonderful day!

To Participate:
1. Be creative. We provide the prompt. You feel free to use words, photos, video, audio, your family pet, whatever, to communicate on the weekly prompt.
2. Listen twice as much. If you leave one link, visit two.
3. Be a community. Include #TheLoft graphic and/or hashtag in your post and social media so we can find each other.
4. Write like Jesus would write. We are a Christian link-up. Offensive or inappropriate posts will be deleted. No questions asked.
5. Be pertinent. Our heart is to build community and intimacy, and our means to do that is to build each link-up around a single prompt. Please make sure your post is on topic.
6. Link-Up. Each Wednesday morning at 5am EST, the link goes live, and for 6 glorious days you can link up your post on that week’s prompt. The linky will close at 5pm EST on Monday.
November Prompts: The month of November will be all about Thanksgiving and being thankful. Any post, picture, poem, song about thankfulness is what we are linking up in November.
I hope you will plan to join us each week at The Loft Link-Up.
Now, it is time to link-up!!
