In All Things Give Thanks

In all things give thanks: 

For this is the will of God, in Christ Jesus concerning you

1 Thessalonians 5:18

I am thankful for my amazing family

I am thankful for those conversations with my sister that continue late into the night

I am thankful for creative moments when exactly the right words come to mind

I am thankful for plaid flannel shirts

I am thankful for that group of crazy boys in my class whom I would never have expected to become friends with 

I am thankful for notebooks full of scribbled nothings

I am thankful for music notes as they march across the page

I am thankful for that random person who somehow brightens your day without realizing it

I am thankful for the chance to learn, but I'm also thankful for Thanksgiving break ;)

I am thankful for the girl with glasses who encouraged me to keep writing

I am thankful for those moments when God answers my prayers in the most unexpected ways

I am thankful for those texts from old friends 

I am thankful for the people that hug you back even tighter

But most of all, I am thankful for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has blessed me in more ways than I could ever count

Happy Thanksgiving all!

~ Fall Things ~

// Crunchy leaves// Smoke in the air// Rainy days by the fire with a book and a cup of tea// Pumpkin Cookies// Fuzzy blankets// Rain on the roof// Cold starry nights// Fluffy Jackets// Dragging your feet through the leaves// Pumpkin Pie// Sweaters with sleeves you can pull down over your hands// Chai Tea Latte's//

// Watching Little Women on a cold day// Picking apples// Apple cake// Apple scones// Apple sauce// All things apple// Nature walks// Good books// Thanksgiving// When the wind blows tons of colorful leaves through the air// Days that are cold, but not to cold// Stomping around in Wellington's// Listening to Colonial and Celtic music// 

// Those little moments when you suddenly feel very thankful for school because it brought you those amazing people that you never expected to become friends with// My birthday!// Building the first fire of the year in the hearth// Scarves// Puddles// The loveliness of the word November//

Yours Truly,

Miss Woodhouse
