Happy Thanksgiving
I am going against the tradition of thankfulness this year.
Everyone is always thankful for family and friends and I am as well, but this year I want to express my thankfulness to the person who shows a random act of kindness.
This is the person who goes against the norm of selfishness and thinks of someone else in an unexpected way.
I’m thankful for the person who says, “No wait, let me get that door for you. Do you need help with that?” Any random at of kindness has a way of changing a person’s life.
This is the person I am thankful this year for. Take a moment out of your day and be that person who can change the heart of a random stranger.
You never know how God is working. He could orchestrate it to where this stranger becomes a lasting friend in the end.
Consider today on this day of Thanksgiving about what random act of kindness could you do to touch someone’s life today.
Now back to tradition. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone I know and love.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
