"The family should be a closely knit group. The home should be a self-contained shelter of security; a kind of school where life’s basic lessons are taught; and a kind of church where God is honored; a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed."

--Billy Graham

Thankfulness

Through the month of November, I like to take time each day and write what I'm thankful for. I admit that I don't do this enough and I really enjoy taking time to think about these things. They won't be in a particular order, but just what God lays on my heart for the day.
Today, on November 1, I am thankful for how the Holy Spirit leads and the peace I receive from following. I have been a Christian since I was young, but I didn't always know what it meant to "Be still and listen" to God. And I still don't always do it when I should, but I can think of specific moments in my life that I did and those moments have forever changed me.
I'm thankful that God leads in my life and His way is the right way...even when I don't see it. I'm thankful that even when there are closed doors, God grants a peace that I will never comprehend.
He's real. He's in my life. And it has made a difference.
