On the sixth day of Christmas I am Grateful for Hobbies

You know the little things matter when it comes to bringing Joy into your life. Hobbies were meant to do just that. Life gets crazy, busy, and full of "things" to do and that gives us very little time for just pure enjoyment doing something we love. But when I do get that chance to spend a little time on something I enjoy, and it brings me at least a cup full of joy, it was worth making the time for. I feel we all can do better on prioritising our lives to make more room for the gospel and family, the two most important things in our lives, and incorporate those into our hobbies. Doing fun things with the family that are uplifting to them and the Lord makes me feel like I have succeeded. I have such a good time going for little hikes with my children and husband and carrying a long a camera to capture moments with the kids and nature. I love sitting down and sketching out a design for a home on a piece of graph paper and being able to see the out come of it. I enjoy doing lots of things I wished I had more time for but somehow, someway, I will eventually bring my family into those hobbies I love so much and they'll share their interests they love into our lives as well. Photography and the arts, motorcycling and gymnastics, and the little crafty hobbies as well bring my family joy already and hopefully more in the future. That is why I am grateful for Hobbies, they bring me and those around us JOY.
