Thankful

About a week ago, we took our students on a field trip to a wildlife preservation. One of the areas for the trip was a pond study. The picture below is of the area where the kids were doing their research. I kept looking out across the water at the fall colors and it just made me realize how thankful I am this season. It has been a trying year for my family in many ways, but God is SO good and SO merciful. If he can paint the trees to look like this; I know He can paint my life the exact colors that He has for me. As I head into Thursday and spending time with the people that I love most in this world, I will take time to thank my Heavenly Father for each of them. I'll be sure to post a Thankful Thursday post for Thanksgiving. I have plenty to be thankful for!
