25. I am thankful for my parents' thoughtful hearts when it comes to spending time with us and giving gifts to all of their grandchildren for birthdays and Christmas.
26. I am thankful for my writer's group. I have learned so much about writing and publishing from them. They inspire me. I haven't had the time to continue writing as I would like, but I know God is using this group to prepare me to be able to write much more freely perhaps when my kids are grown or just during a different stage of life.
27. I am thankful for a local Thrift Store where I can find whatever I need at an affordable price. I am especially thankful for their semi-yearly half off the whole store sales. We sure do stock up! I am really liking those $3 boots I got yesterday, as well as all those nice Nike shirts that my 16 year old found for $1 each!
28. I am thankful that God will always finish a work that He begins. I am thankful for missing pieces that He fills with himself.
29. I am thankful for all of my ladies' Bible study groups that I've been able to teach, co-teach, or be a part of. I am also thankful for all the Bible studies that I've done on my own. I love how the Bible just comes alive and connects in new ways every time I read it.
30. Last, but not least, I am thankful for my Keurig. :) Crazy, I know. But it's the little things that make life easier. Every time I've been out of town, it's one of the things I've missed the most.
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.
