We are fast approaching the holiday season, with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Many of my blogging buddies have already posted their Thanksgiving entry, so I guess it is time. I thought about a top 10 list, but I have far more to be thankful for than I could list in 10 entries. I thought about doing a “Thanksgiving Tag”- and I might add that at the end of this entry. So, I am going to make a feeble attempt at sharing some of the things for which I am most thankful.
I am thankful that God loves me, and that Jesus died for me. Without the love and the sacrifice, I am certain my “Thankful” list would not be very long. I am also thankful for the church at Sylvan Springs and for each member. Without my church family, I would not be whole.
I am thankful for the most wonderful husband in the whole world. He loves me and I love him. We complete one another.
I am thankful for the 3 best kids in the world. I can’t say they are perfect, but I can say they are “perfect” to me. I am also thankful for my son-in-law and my daughters-in-law. If I had been given a magic wand to choose a mate for my children, I could not have done better. I am also thankful for the parents that raised them. They did a great job.
I am thankful for the 3 most beautiful grandchildren in the world. My heart just melts when I see them. Sometimes I just have to sit and stare at them, and think about their potential. I hope God allows me to see them grow up.
I am thankful for my family, my sister and my brother and their families. I am thankful that we live in peace with one another, and that I know they are there for me. I am thankful for my nieces (and husbands) and nephews, and I am proud of them.
I am thankful for my in-laws, for their goodness to me for the past 30 years.
I am thankful for my job(s). I truly am fortunate. I actually don’t dread going to work!
I am thankful for my home, for my health, for my cupboards being full, for my closet being too full, for my car having gas, my where do you end this list?
Now, I am tagging you- if you are reading this- tell me what you are thankful for.
