Remembering and Giving Thanks March 17, 2008
Posted by Erin in : General Lessons , trackbackJoe,
With today being Abby’s fourth birthday, there is nothing more I could think to post on than the great practice of remembering God’s mercies and giving thanks. It is something I know I do not do often enough with anyone in my life. But I know it is something that stirs me to adore and worship God more when I look back on the ways I have been blessed by a person being in my life and praise God for that great work. In the everyday grind of parenthood, it is easy to get caught up in the little details and fail to step back and reflect. A birthday is of course a wonderful time to to that, but I would encourage all parents to take the time out to really remember the grace God has shown your child, the happy memories and the way your life has been made better just for them being in it. I love to look back on pictures and videos to remember those special times, as well as just talking to you (my husband) about favorite memories. But don’t stop there: tell your child all you are thankful for and that you love them dearly. Surely, that is one thing we can never do with one another enough!
Praising God for four wonderful years,
Erin
