It’s November. Thanksgiving time. The month of gratitude! Understandably, when a person thinks of the year 2020, their first thoughts may not be: I’m so thankful. It seems like we are more prone to say—disaster! Or—can we forget this ever happened? However, it’s also good to remember that life is a gift with many blessings within it. There are moments from these past few months that I don’t want to rush through, skip over, or erase. There were lessons learned. Time spent with loved ones. With each new twenty-four hours of opportunity, we must choose to move forward with joy regardless of any outside circumstances (Colossians 3:23-24).
Here are some of my family’s highlights that I hope will make you smile!
-
- January: We spent time with our great-grandparents (and their dog)!
-
- February: Baby figured out how to eat finger foods. So many snuggles given and milestones met this year!
-
- March: We mailed out lots of colorful pictures to our family and friends!
-
- April: We learned all about the special time of Easter. The oldest listened, and told me, “Christ arose!”
-
- May: Happy birthday boys!
-
- June: I had an excellent helper for Sunday potlucks.
-
- July: We enjoyed spending time outside. A boy after my own heart, this kid is pretending to be Yadier Molina at bat!
-
- August: We celebrated a new family member’s entry into the world.
-
- September: After teaching myself to blog, social network, and write a novel, I attended a virtual writer’s conference. I have always liked to write but it wasn’t until I started reading books, scanning articles and connecting with others in the industry that I realized, this is something I can actually work towards!
-
- October: Carved our first Jack-o-Lantern!
I can’t wait to see what the rest of November has in store as we look forward to rejoicing in the light of the world at Christmastime.
