I stopped doing my daily IG thankful pictures after this.

Our family was going through a very difficult time. 

Not that I wasn't still thankful because even though the days seemed dark and I was hurting I was thankful, thankful God was there with me.  Thankful I could lean on him.  Thankful that he was in control.  Thankful for his words that encouraged and blessed me as I walked through each day.

Insta-Friday:Thankful Days 1-9

I love that November is the month of gratitude.
