This is a bit late today, very sorry for that. It has been a busy week, and yesterday was one of those days. Baby cutting teeth, big kid finding their big Christmas gift, pregnancy hormones, anniversary of Granddaddy’s passing, bad news about an elderly neighbor from my hometown, rain, a girlie pushing her limits, mount laundrious not getting folded…I completely spaced the linkup.

I wanted to share this Thanksgiving Challenge with you again. You can really start it anytime, and do it as long as you like. I want to see who will do it with me next week, for the entire week.

As things get crazy next week, let us remember to overflow with thankfulness. Remember as you are braving the pre-Thanksgiving grocery store, running around the kitchen cooking, or Black Friday Shopping, you are representing Christ. Be different. Be kind. Courteous. Respectful. Be the Light in the darkness.

Need to make next week more productive? Check out How to Have a More Productive Day. You can apply the principles to the whole week, planning it out and preparing as much as you can.

Want to make grocery shopping easier next week? Here is how I do it, with little kids.

Christmas is coming up, if you need gift ideas, please check out Gifts That Support Families and Gift Ideas for Essential Oil Users.

On to the linkup!

“If you want to experience consistent victory and see it played out in the atmosphere of your home, continually look for areas in which the Holy Spirit is leading to greater obedience, and ask God what your part is in making that a reality.
