Graced with Grace

Smoothies! Healthy, but delish!

Fingernails! Such a small, dead thing, yet we use them all the time. Not only that, but they are a lot of fun to paint. ;) What are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for the home that God has blessed me with and for the the fact that it really is a home and not just a house. ;)

Hugs! ;) Yep! So thankful for hugs from family and friends!

Journaling! Sorry so short! I just have "things" to do.;)

I am thankful for all the men who have have learned to cook and enjoy cooking. Yes, sirree Bob! Yes sirree Bob! You heard that right! I love it when my brothers come home and know how to cook a delicious meal for the family. Of course, we have Mom to thank, too, because she is usually the teacher of that art. I love it when men decide it isn't an "only girls" thing! If you haven't read my post about the importance of men cooking then you might just want to check it out here: Men Need to Cook, Too!   Well, that's it for today folks! Have a lovely evening!

Thankful for walks through the woods with awesome friends!

Country life! I am so thankful and blessed to be able to live out in the country! I love the land that I roam. I love hearing the cows moo in distant pastures, or the song of the birds in the early morning, the hooting owls at night, the random deer that come wondering into our yard, and the endless chatter of squirrels. Yes, I love country life!

Southern accents! My very favorite! ;)

Homemade Bread! It's the best when it is straight out of the oven and the butter just melts on to the bread. So delicious! Maybe I should share my bread recipe with ya'll. Is anybody interested in it? It is really easy and makes 4 loaves.

Books! Oh, the place you can go, the people you meet, and the adventures you can have all in a book.

Friends! I love, love, love my friends! They mean so much to me! They are such a blessing and joy to me!  "Friends are friends forever, If the Lord is Lord of them."

Fruit! I love most kinds of fruit and they are so healthy, yet so sweet and delicious at the same time. My favorites are strawberries, peaches, blackberries, pineapple, and oranges/tangerines. What are your favorite fruits?

Rain! It cleans the air, waters the earth, and is so much fun to play and dance in! ;) Have a happy day!

Day 12 sI LL Y m O MEn T S wI TH m Y sIS TE rS!

100 Days of Thanksgiving  Day 11 Sorry people! I am not doing a picture today. I know it makes posts way more interesting, but honestly I get tired of trying to find the "perfect" picture, so... Great Value corn flakes! I am so thankful for that particular brand of corn flakes because guess what? They are the only brand that knows how to make good corn flakes. You are probably thinking "Wow! This girl is really picky!" Well, yes, in some things I am and that is actually not a bad thing. Anyway, Great Value Corn Flakes just have that unique different-from-the-rest type of flavor and crunch that makes it delicious.  Shine for Jesus! Your Blogger Friend, Hannah

Day 10 The Beach! I just love the beach! I love digging my toes into the sand, running through the water, letting the waves chase me, watching the sunrise above the water, making huge holes in the sand with my siblings or watching the sea gulls. Oh, the memories that we have made while at the beach (or as northerners say, the shore).

Day 9 Squirrels! Yes, I like squirrels and am thankful for them even though they are quite  mischievous. Their mischievousness is actually something that makes them so funny to watch at times.

Day 8 Tea! I love sipping on a hot cup of sweet tea on a cold winters day! Actually I enjoy hot tea on hot summer days and rainy days, too. Some of my favorite kinds of tea are Chai, English breakfast, peach, and blueberry. Do you like hot tea? If so, what are your favorites? Have a lovely day!

Day 7 Music! I am not much good at making beautiful music, but I sure do love beautiful music!

Day 6 Mountains! Another reminder of how glorious and powerful my God is! Have a lovely day filled with the joy of the Lord!

September 8, 2012, Day 5 Sunsets! Sunsets always remind me of how great, awesome, big, creative, and glorious God is! Have a happy day full of sunshine, smiles, and laughter! Shine for Jesus! Your blogging Friend, Hannah

September 7, 2012, Day 4 Pencils! I  am so thankful for pencils! I use pencils like literally every single day. I have a collection of little pencils (seen in the picture above). I even wrote a poem about pencils! Yes, just in case you didn't figure it out by now, I am slightly obsessed with pencils! ;) Have a happy day full of sunshine, smiles, and laughter! Your Blogging Friend,                             Hannah

September 6, 2012, Day 3 Smiles! I am so thankful for smiles. I love smiles; happy smiles; mischievous smiles; sweet smiles; lovely smiles; baby smiles; every smile. Smiles make me smile. I smile so I can make others smile.

September 5, 2012, Day 2 So thankful for the family who gave these beautiful flowers to me on my birthday! So blessed and encouraged by their love for Jesus and their godly example in my life and their joy in the Lord. Blessed by their act of love for me through this fragrant gift of flowers. Blessed forever through their friendship!

Colossians 2:6-7 "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." So I have decided that for the next 100 days I am going to attempt to post one thing each day of something that I am thankful for. I hope you will join me. You could either, post it on your own blog, leave a comment, or just write something in your journal every day for the next 100 days. Today, September 4, 2012 , is day 1   The cross “on which the Prince of Glory died” Hebrews 12:2 “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
