Gratitude

Nebo Queens...

Fancy meeting you here!  I'm thrilled to have another avenue to connect with all of you on a consistent basis.  My desire is to offer support to you as a working mom, wife, and/or woman in all the areas you may need a little extra inspiration!  At Nebo, family is a big deal and that's why we love that we can give you the opportunity to contribute financially and keep yours a priority! 

For me, the meaning of family has recently become an even more powerful word in my life.  Last year about this time, I was taking in the sight, sounds, and smells (sometimes better than others!) of a newborn baby girl.  For you NEWBIES who haven't had the chance to meet her yet, I must say you are in for a treat!  Addy Grace is above and beyond all I could have hoped and dreamed for a child.  The love I have for her will never be articulated in words.  I am so grateful!  Grateful for a God who has blessed me with such a sweet little life.  A wonderful (good looking) husband.  A precious, healthy little girl.  A supportive & loving family, a cozy little home, a car that runs, a job that fulfills me (and helps pay the bills), a church community that provides me opportunities to grow and serve,  great girlfriends, PLENTY of clothes, and a  sweet little dog Zoe (that pees on the floor all the time but I love her anyway!)

What are you grateful for today?  Gratitude is one of the most beautiful qualities we wear as women.  It takes the focus off our discontentment, our fears, and our frustrations and puts it on the things that matter most. 

Today, I challenge you to write down (you can even do it leaving a comment here!) 5 things you are most grateful for TODAY.  My bet is that if you are lagging a bit today- in your mood, your energy, or even your SALES... this quick little excercise can turn everything around for you!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts!  Thanks for letting me share. 

Until we meet again...
