This month Thankful Thursday is hosted by Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage. Hop on over and link up your Thankful Thursday post!
Today I am thankful for my days being so busy. If you have been reading along, you saw the post I did a few days ago about not having enough time in the day and how I didn't know if having more time added to the day was a good thing or not.
Well, I have realized since then that my day being so busy has been a blessing. I may not have time to do everything that I want to in one day, but I never have a moment to just twiddle my thumbs and be bored. I get things done and sleep better at night (since I'm so worn out). I have a feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day when I think back on all I did. I try not to think about what I didn't finish and instead try to mentally add those things to my to do list for the next day.
I am thankful for the things that keep me busy as well. I have a loving family that keeps me busy. I run around cooking and cleaning, taking care of scrapes and bumps, clip coupons and find good deals, make sure the dog is staying in the yard and not running after the cat next door, cutting the yard, and so much more. I do all these things because I have a family to take care of. This is my greatest blessing! I pray The Lord always gives me family to take care of and keep me busy!
I was always told that if your busy and don't have enough hours in the day be thankful because that means you have a full life and are truly blessed. I try to remember that when I start feeling overwhelmed. I'm thankful and grateful I have a house to clean because that means I'm not homeless, dinner to cook, because that means I have food to eat. The list goes on, but you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a life of abundant blessings. :)

Amen--as a busy freelance writer and homemaker, I can relate. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteBusiness is a blessing. I love your attitude.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it sounds like you're abundantly blessed!
ReplyDeleteServing a family does take all your time, but the rewards are great.
What a nice way to look at it. Most people just go Ugh its too much.
ReplyDeleteI just love your Thursday posts.
