Thankfulness month!

This is the month where people will take the time to remember the things they are thankful for.  Right before they rush around like crazy people trying to get everything people think they need for Christmas.
This year, I want to foster an every-day attitude of thankfulness and remember the real reason this season is so special to me.
My Savior's birthday is coming up.  If it weren't for Him, I would not be here today.  You see, life is not very easy (as everyone knows) and I have had my fair share of knocks.  If it weren't for the HOPE I have in Jesus, there would be no reason to keep going.  Yes, my kids are great...but even that can feel overwhelming when you are already overwhelmed. 
So, I am INCREDIBLY thankful for my God and for His provisions for my girls and I.  There is nothing that compares to knowing that He picked me and wants me to be His child.  That He will always have my back and make sure that we are provided for.
What are you thankful for?
How can you encourage yourself, and family, to keep thankful?
