Gratitude....

I sit here this morning thinking about many things. It's been a while since I've updated Kaufman's Cottage mostly because I'm not sure of what to post. From the very beginning I've felt strongly about being an encourager of homemakers. We have a VERY important job to do! I pray that if you are feeling discouraged about your role in the home that God will lead you to my post. Don't think for a minute that it's just a coincidence...that's how He works sometimes!

I wanted to do a year end review for 2013. Better late than never right? I wholeheartedly believe this:

Are you struggling with discontentment? Don't feel alone! From time to time we all do. I've found the best way to combat that is to simply look for things to be thankful for. A home? Someone to love? Food to eat? Clothes to wear? A book to read? A God to worship? If you look hard enough, I guarantee you can find something to be thankful for and that my friends is victory over discontentment!

2013 was a tough year with deaths in the family, broken relationships, unfair expectations and a whole lot more but I've got SO much to be thankful for! If you are reading this, then you are a part of that as well. So thank you! Here are some random highlight's from 2013...
