Here's are just a few of things that come to mind:
* the 2nd and 3rd and 4th hug from my daughter before we part each morning
* the contagious laughter of my son
* the unexpected phone call from my husband in the middle of the day... calling just to say "I'm thinking of you"
* a sunny day
* the bird chirping outdoors when I wake in the morning
* the warm hug from a friend when you need it the most
* spring flowers blooming in the middle of fall (yes, we've gotten so much rain here the last few weeks that, along with warmer temps, a couple of bushes in my yard have started to bloom!)
* a quiet evening at home
I could go on and on... If we will only take the time to slow down and pay attention God shows us His love and His goodness each and everyday. It doesn't have to be something "big" or "deeply meaningful". It's there in the little and sometimes unexpected events of each and everyday.
How has God shown you recently that He loves you?
To join us in sharing our thanksgivings this week, visit Iris at "Grace Alone...".

I love the way God's love shows up in the everyday things, too!
When we slow down and count our blessings isn't it amazing how...content it makes us feel.
Thanks for sharing. :)
Melanie, what great advice to slow down and pay attention. God is faithful and full of love and goodness.
Blessings,

I love your sweet blessings.
Those are all such sweet blessings. Isn't it great that we have been recording gratitudes all year instead of just in Nov!
Thanks for sharing your heart!
Melanie,
Your warmth for the LORD and family is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us today.
Thankful that I stopped by. Love you dear sister.
You have a truly thankful heart- it only requires we be open to seeing the little blessings He bestows each day. Happy TT!
It is so easy to overlook those amazing small gifts from God. . . those hugs, the laughter, the flowers. . .that he sends our way. Thanks for the reminder!
God bless!
Beautiful, aren't they? The little, unexpected moments, I mean...
I love the small and yet oh so important blessings of each day! Thank you for allowing me to be grateful through your eyes.
Hugs from Colorado!
It's so good to stop and pay attention to these little things. These are all great ways that you see God's love in your daily life.
Hope you're having a good weekend!
Love your list! There are so many things to be thankful for each day. Thank you for reminding us to be thankful for the "little" things. :-)
It's so true that God will show us many things to be thankful for. I enjoyed your blog. Doylene
Just beautiful
