Ever feel that you are not important? Your family really doesn’t need you? You aren’t measuring up to expectations. You DO matter. What you are doing does count.
The One who created the universe sees the nights you are up with a crying child or when you are on knees cleaning up evidence of a sick stomach. Or when you are reading the same book for the 100th time. Or when you are taking a meal to a sick neighbor or helping an elderly person with their yard. It matters. Do it for Him.
Look for the gifts in each day. Every day is a gift that we will never get back.

Do you intentionally teach your children to be thankful? Here are some ideas.
What are you most thankful for today? Are you treasuring each day? I know it is difficult at times to do that.
