I'll be sharing some of those lists of thanks with you throughout the month of November as I participate in the 30 Days to Being Thankful Challenge . I thank my God for... 181. a quiet house after everyone has gone to bed. 182. the chance to hear about the Godly influence my girls are being to their friends and teachers at school.
