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.
D

E
Electricity. You don’t realize how much you depend on it till its out for a few hours.
F
French fries. They are my jam.
G
Glasses. You never realize how much you love them til someone steals them 🙂
H
Home. I love our house.
I
Ice. Ice. Baby.
J

M

    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! 🙂

  • Copy. Paste. Little Kev wanted the exact same birthday party as last year! 💙🎮

We had @fraustosmobilegameroom come out again and the boys LOVED it!

Their game truck is so cool! 💥 They have all the best game systems and games, a Photo Booth and cameras so you can watch the kids while they are playing inside. 🏎️

It was seriously so awesome! 10/10 recommend.

The boys went back and forth from the game truck to playing basketball 🏀 and it was just such a sweet night.

  • happy happy birthday to our 9 year old!💙 I can’t believe how grown up he looks & he continues to make us incredibly proud of him.

He’s extremely hardworking, so kind, a rule-follower and servant hearted. 

He loves baseball, basketball,🎮 playing video games, nascar 🏁and watching sports. ⚾️🏀

Watching him grow up is one of life’s greatest joys. You are so loved little man. #kcclarkejr
  • Easter is the perfect excuse for a little extra floral 🌸✨

I found the sweetest floral dresses that are perfect for church, brunch, egg hunts, and all the spring memories in between. Feminine, colorful, and so easy to wear.

Which one is your favorite? 🌷🐣

  • A little midweek magic at the @alleytheatre 🎭✨

Wednesday, we got to see the opening night of The Importance of Being Earnest. The wit, the costumes, the sets… perfection. There’s just something about live theater that makes you slow down and soak in the moment.

Houston friends — if you haven’t done a night at the Alley, add it to your list. Good company, a little culture, and a lot of laughs. 💫
