I keep forgetting to tell you my bloggy friend Sarah at More Than Enough is joining me in 30 Days of Thanksgiving. After you read my post, leave a comment, Pin, Like, and Share…go visit Sarah. (I’m just kidding, you don’t have to do all those things–except visit Sarah.) I’m keeping a running list of thanksgiving–30 Days of Thanksgiving to be exact–for the month of November. I’m forcing myself to remember Thanksgiving is a choice, a way of thinking and a way of life. It’s more than just a day at the end of the month of November. I’m inviting you to please join me. Who cares if it’s already November 9th, jump in anyway! If you blog, leave a link in the comments. If you don’t leave your list in the comments.

Today among many things I’m thankful for are:
Yet more rain (the rainy season is still very new and besides I haven’t been drenched to the skin yet!)
A great class with our two novices
Being reminded at Mass to live with integrity
Soccer…what I’d call football I think!
The end of the day…and bed! Thank God!

Well, I had to ask! 🙂 To have three of the same names is quite amazing, I think!
God is SO good! I am sure you were a bit nervous to go from rec to competitive soccer, so to find such a wonderful team must have been a huge answer to prayer! That is so wonderful!!

Hi Jenny! Thank you for mentioning my little blog on your site! That was so kind of you! The picture of your daughter’s soccer team praying is amazing! That is SO awesome and definitely something to be grateful for! Oh, and I just realized that we both have children with the names Anna, Luke and Veronica! (At least I think so!) I don’t suppose you have an Olivia, Lucia or Joseph, too? 😉

Nope, no Olivia, Lucia or Joseph.
This is our first year playing competitive soccer and we are so blessed to have joined this team. We had no idea the family like atmosphere and the prayer circle this team has before each game. God is so good to have helped us make this transition from rec to competitive.
