EVERYDAY THINGS!!! August 18th

"...For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." Philippians 4:11


"If you want any one thing too much it's likely to disappoint. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like
soft beds and buttermilk..."-- Augustus McCrae-"Lonesome Dove"

I'm again playing along with Julie over at "Everyday Mommy", and her weekly feature,

designed to encourage all of us to embrace contentment and to appreciate the everyday things which we often take for granted.

The thing I'm most thankful for today, is my ability to be able to read. I'm a HUGE book lover, and my house is filled with books, cookbooks, fiction, biographies, christian or children's books. It's such a big part of our lives.

I can't even begin to imagine not being able to read, but yet it's something I think we take for granted everyday, but also something used every second of our lives, whether we're reading directions on a medicine bottle.......a letter from a loved one......a nighttime story to our children.....or even a receipt for something you buy at a store.

So I'm embracing the written word, and I'm truly thankful that I can enjoy the Bible or another book without needing someone to help me with it.

What are YOU embracing today? If you want to play along, come on and hop on over to Julie's blog, add your name to the list or perhaps just read all the "everyday things" being shared by other bloggers :)
