A Brand New Day: Thank you notes.....

Welcome to our little world!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to update daily to give you a little peek into our lives. We are so blessed and look forward to sharing a little piece of us....

I find so much peace in the fact that Jesus NEVER changes - He is ALWAYS the same & He loves each and every one of us unconditionally and more than we can even imagine!

You can pause the music if you just don't feel like listening to it and you can click on any picture to see it larger!

Ooo - and excuse the typos - it's just not me to care if I spell or punctuate right! Ha!!!

Thank you notes.....

I was raised where we HAD to write thank you notes and have always done them.....that is until Jonas came along. I just have such a hard time fitting everything in, in a day. The bad part is, I feel guilty for not doing them. I've talked to friends about this and they say that although they think they are nice to get, they are not necessary - that people are supposed to give without expecting anything in return. I do agree with that, yet still find the guilt creeping in.

So - what can I say - I have not written a thank you note since last year sometime. Funny how family traditions that you have been taught can mess with your mind so much.

I do want to teach my kids to be thankful for the things they receive, to show appreciation and to let someone know they received the gift (if it was not open in person) but I am not going to demand they write one - especially with the always growing price of postage!

Anyone want to chime in on thoughts on this one? Comments welcomed!
