Faith ‘n Fiction Saturdays- Gratitude

I have read Amy’s Faith ‘n Fiction Saturdays posts, but never joined in until today. I think I chose the perfect day based on the question.

Directly from Amy:

With Thanksgiving coming up, I thought I’d keep it simple today and just ask what you’re thankful for this year. Every year is so different, and we learn to appreciate different things in different seasons of life. If you have a favorite Thanksgiving book or passage from Scripture you’d like to share with us as well, please do! Or maybe even just a photo. All I’m asking is that you take a couple of minutes and let the gratitude well up in your heart and onto your blog! :)

My Answer:

I am so very grateful first and foremost to my loving and supportive husband and three sons. Their strength and love keeps me going. Being a stroke survivor is not easy nor is being in chronic pain, yet they truly help make my journey easier. I am extremely grateful for my Skype Sisters, even if they move on, they are sisters of my heart and I am blessed. My best friend Deb, who has always stood by my side in good times and in the darkest hours. Finally, I am grateful for finding “me” in the world of Book Reviewing and for all of the tremendous support and kindness that has been extended toward me. I pray I get to know each of you better in the coming year.

Thank you Amy for this fantastic prompt! I know that I need reminders to be thankful, especially when I am struggling.

So, what are you thankful for?

2010 100+ Reading Challenge

In 2010 I am hoping to keep far better records of the books I read, as I completely lost track in 2009, granted I still have a little over a month to try and recall all I red, but honestly I just do not have the energy. I shall be trying a new method to keep track of all the books I read during the new year.

The challenge runs from 1 January 2010 until 31 December 2010. Anyone may join and any genres are allowed. For more information about the challenge or to sign up, visit J Kaye’s Book Blog.
