Thankful

A year ago today, I did a ABC’s of Thankfulness post and I thought this would be really fitting to do again since life has been a little crazy lately. The post originally came from a sermon Max preached on the ABC’s of Gratitude and giving God thanks for things in our life (big and small). I loved it so much that I came home and made my own list. I really wanted to share this with all of you because I think its a great tool to turn our attitudes around on “bad days” and just meditate on all things God has blessed us with that we can be thankful for in life. Here is my new list below and feel free to link up your own in the comments. I would love to read your list and just share in being thankful!
ABC's of Thankfulness - What are you thankful for today?
A
Anniversaries 🙂 Kevin and I just booked a night at the hotel we got engaged at for our 3rd.
B
Brisket. It is super yummy – just saying.
C
Carmel Macchiatos and how they taste so yummy over ice.

E

G
Glasses. You never realize how much you love them til someone steals them 🙂

    This is great! It’s always good to reflect on what you’re thankful for and what a creative way to do it!

    This is such an easy way to make us stop and realize just a few things that we are thankful for. What a great idea.

    Love this idea! May I borrow it for a blog post, too? It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the world that we oftentimes stop thanking God for the little things. Thank YOU for reminding us to be thankful! 🙂

  • #JimmyDeanBrandPartner @jimmydean Mornings are so busy, I need quick and easy breakfast ideas and @jimmydean always comes through! 

I used their Premium Applewood Smoked Bacon and Premium Pork Regular Sausage Roll to make these Breakfast sliders. They are so delicious and easy to make them for the week and reheat each day.

I like pairing them with Jimmy Dean® Heat ‘N Serve Original Pork Breakfast Sausage Links. They are seasoned to perfection and give me a little extra protein (9g per serving!!).

Another great quick option is the Jimmy Dean® Egg and Cheese Maple Griddle Cake Breakfast Sandwich. It’s ready in minutes in the microwave and it smells amazing, plus it has 13g of protein per serving!

You can grab all these Jimmy Dean®  Brand favorites at @walmart!
