Interrupt Anxiety

My friend posted these words on Facebook. 

What a concept!

I have so much to be thankful for, 

I shouldn't have any problem 

interrupting anxiety with gratitude.

Ann Voscamp's November Joy Challenge, 

to name three things I'm thankful for every day this month, 

has helped me get my days into perspective.

 

I Want to See More Beauty

Gratitude truly colors the way I view my days.

Without it, I tend to forget my blessings, give up on a dream or idea, 

or let my life slip into a fog.

With it I see wonder in every day things, enjoy the people who fill my life, 

and appreciate God's amazing creation.

This year--I choose gratitude.

 

Gratitude

Having an attitude of gratitude can change a dreary day into a day filled with joy. 

Let God, family, friends, acquaintances know you appreciate them.

The Last Breath

"Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it."

Thank You

Dad served his country during WW2, I love this photo of him when he took his turn in the mess hall. That's my mom. She road a bus across the country from Ohio to the Pacific coast to spend a week with him before he shipped out, again. When she returned home, she cared for their children, my siblings. I can only imagine how hard it was and is for moms and dads, and extended family to wait at home for their loved one to return, knowing they may not.

I want to thank all who serve and served and the families who wait at home. I can't fathom the sacrifice for the freedom we enjoy.

My dad, Homer Frost, my husband, Tim McGinnis, my brothers, Ron and Darryl Frost all served. Thank you.
