Maybe Everything Beautiful: Thankfulness

For the month of November I thought I would keep a list of things God has blessed me with and I'm thankful for in a cute little notebook. Besides things I'm thankful for, I also wrote some Bible verses that deal with thankfulness, praise and things God is teaching me in my life. So today, since I'm bored out of my gourd, I thought I'd post all of them on here with some pictures from this month. I will post them by each day of the month that I wrote. Some days, I only listed one thing, other days I filled up the whole page. I pray that as you read through these you will think of all your blessings and thank God for them. Oh! Happy Thanksgiving!!
