These are great. A few days ago I began keeping a list of the things I am thankful for. It has been good for my soul, to meditate on those things.
Another to add might be: Don’t be afraid or uncomfortable to say NO. — We can’t be supermom or dad or friend or neighbor. It is easy to get caught up in the “to do” of the season. It is important not to put more on our plate than we should. Take time to think on it first!

Hi Marvin,
This year Jenn’s really led the kids on the home-made route and it clicked for me when Max asked me for 5 suggestions for a homemade gift list. That made me think about what is it homemade that I would truly want. I asked him for a sketch of the two of us praying, five back massages, five walk the dogs, no bake cookies (his specialty, a space in his fort outside that might be dedicated for Daddy visitors. And he liked that and I liked that and now I’m thinking about how I could do that for others.
What a nice thing to be thankful for.
Tony

Hey Marvin, Thanks for the ideas and reminders! I am trying to remember what advent actually is all about and challenge myself to wait expectantly this season. I am also praying about where God wants my family to serve…their are so many needs it is overwhelming!
Blessings to you!
