Sayin' It Saturday and Song-suasion...Grateful

Choosing to have a grateful heart makes me not only a better person but a happier one at that. I am grateful for what I have. 

That thought process puts it all in perspective. Doesn't it? ~Naila Moon

Please check out my friend, Cathy for her song-suasion post today.

Thankful Thursday and A Song...3/14/2013

Welcome back to my Thursday meme of Thankful Thursday and A Song.
This is a link up so make sure you do and tell me what you are thankful for this week. Also go by my blog buddy who helps me host, Xmas Dolly.

I can honestly, without a doubt, tell you that I am thankful that after 1 1/2 years of Tamirisc being unemployed and us having no income since January, he is going back to work! In fact, as of today!

I am so, so, SO grateful. I literally am jumping for joy!

Wordless(ish) Wed. 12/12/12...Holiday Perspective

Today for Wordless Wednesday, I thought I might give a different perspective of the holidays for some. 

I took this outside my bedroom window this morning. She gave me the best "gift" ever without even knowing it. 
Remember to be grateful for what you do have.

Day 16...food

Day 16

Yesterday, my daughter, cousin-in-law, and I were having a conversation about my belated Grandma and some of the "dishes" she made. In particular we were talking about her chili. 


Now I use the term "chili" here loosely because her chili was not exactly what most people would bring to mind. Her chili consisted of a can or two of beans, mystery meat and water. There was absolutely no seasoning to it.  Sometimes it was actually beans, tomato soup and water. In any case, we hated it but we were expected to eat it. You always ate what Grandma put on the table with no argument.  


The funny thing is, I miss her so much and would eat that in a heartbeat just to see her again.

So today I am thankful for the food that is put on the table. It does not matter whether I like it or not. No, it is just that it is there. So many people are hungry or are going hungry and would beg just to get a small morsel. I am truly blessed and truly thankful for what I have.

Peace...Naila Moon
  

Day 15...LOVE

Day 15

My entire life my parents had/have hanging in their kitchen this chapter from Corinthians 13 that spoke about LOVE.  It was a first anniversary gift from my Dad to my Mom.  It was a testament to how my parents felt about each other and what was truly important to them in life. It is my favorite verse of the Bible to this day.

We tend to throw the word "love" around. We "love" this or that person we "love" this or that thing, when in truth, we really just like stuff a whole lot.  The word as it is in the Bible is a strong word and one that should not be used so lightly.  I am not pointing fingers...I have thrown it around too.


Today I am most thankful for love. I think this is a basic need that all of us need. We crave love from our parents or cargivers from the time we are born. We look for it in other people as we get older. I believe we have always had it from our Creator.


This love is the greatest of all because there is no failings in it as humans tend to do. It is perfect. Really, it is something to strive for, this LOVE.


Peace...Naila Moon

Day 12...shoes

Day 12

I found this photo on FB. Credit goes to (but I found link not to work) http://www.schoolgallery.fr/schoolgallery/spip.php?article598

  
Today I am most grateful for even my shoes that had holes in them. There is really nothing more that I could say here than that is there?
Peace...Naila Moon
