I know I said this week’s 4 Moms post was going to be a Q&A, but didn’t you suspect we had better things to do than blog this Thursday? We have changed up the scheduled topics for the next month to more closely align with what is going on in our households (and probably in your household too). We hope you’ll appreciate the changes; we sure do.
For today, if you really want to sit there at the computer instead of eating more spending quality time with your family, let me just point you toward a few of my past Thankful posts. Many of these are about crises in one form or another. Isn’t it funny how the difficult times often teach us more about thankfulness than the easy ones? But maybe it’s not so odd after all when you think about the first Thanksgiving here in America.

- I am thankful for… – A photo of the big whiteboard in our dining room, where last week the kids jotted down a myriad of things for which they are thankful.
- Thanksgiving preparations – A preview of our Thanksgiving plans and prep for 2011, including photos of my Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle. The girls think the little trifles I put in wide-mouth pint jars would be sweet gifts for a couple.
- Big family photos; and family comes to my rescue once again – Huge family photos and memories from January 2010, when Dad’s cancer was newly discovered and he still looked hale and hearty. Dad came to our rescue that night when the van broke down late at night 80 miles from home and Perry was out of the state. This will be our first Thanksgiving without him.
- Rejoice with us! – The biggest loss we ever took on a sale, and we were happy about it.
- Lessons learned the hard way, in which we experience an automobile/financial crisis and God provides.
- Our crisis, in which we experience another automobile/financial crisis and God provides in an entirely different way.
- Did I say these posts were about being thankful? Then it goes without saying that I should include the story of how Perry and I met way back when we were 12, and my children’s birth stories.
