A Practical Walk

November Gratitude #24

Thanksgiving holds a special place in my heart. I’ve celebrated with family, and I’ve celebrated with “family” when overseas. I love that consumerism hasn’t overtaken Thanksgiving as it so many other holidays. I like that it is a lower key holiday. We plan the food, and we show up to eat and talk. I don’t…
November Gratitude #23

Flexibility, I’m thankful for flexibility. Both homeschooling and working from home allow flexibility in my life right now. Case in point, yesterday I woke up with an awful headache, at first I thought it was the start of a migraine, but as the day wore on I not only had a headache that lasted longer…

I’m thankful for food, and not only the nourishment it brings, but how fun it is to eat! There’s so much variety in both the flavor and texture of food that makes it exciting to eat and try new combinations. What are some of your favorite foods?

Today I’m thankful for modern conveniences: running water, immediate hot water, electricity, and internet. It all makes life so much easier. Oh and indoor plumbing…almost forgot that one! What is something you’re thankful for?

My husband needed to run to “the big city”, so we all went. I took advantage of being by an Aldi and did some grocery shopping. I’ve found their prices to be quite a bit lower than our local store. We also stopped in the big Goodwill there. Each member of our family purchased something,…

Today I’m thankful for the body of Christ. I’m thankful for the church spread out all over the world and for the local group of believers we get to be a part of.
November Gratitude #19

I’m thankful God is always available. Even the people who would do the most for me, aren’t always there for me. They get sick, their cell signal might go out of range, they sleep. But not so with God, I could be in the densest forest on earth, and He’d be able to hear me.…
November Gratitude #18

I’m thankful for all the many places I’ve been able to go to. I know most people don’t get to travel as much as I have. Because of our previous job, and having family all over the world, we got to visit more places than I ever imagined I’d go! My daughter and niece strolling…
November Gratitude #17

I’m thankful for God’s Word. What would it be like, if we didn’t have this written track record of God and His interactions with His creation? What if nobody wrote down the stories, geneologies, or songs? What if there hadn’t been the prophesies that we can now look back on and see as evidence of…
November Gratituded #16

I’m thankful for my nieces and nephews! Getting to have 13 kids call me “Aunt Katy” is the best! Recent family camping trip, the kids were all great ages for it! Earlier this year my parents rented a farmhouse Airbnb for us to spend time together, the kids got to enjoy the snow! What’s something…
