I Am Thankful

What kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t have a “Thanksgiving” post? What kind of Christian would I be if I didn’t tell others what God has done in my life?

So here are the things/people I am thankful for this Thanksgiving:

1. My salvation. Thank you Lord for saving my soul and that one day I’ll be in Heaven with you.

2. The fact that I was blessed to have been born in America, to a Christian family who raised me in a Christian home so I could know the Lord. Looking at a World Vision catalog recently I was just struck by how God allowed me to be born is such different conditions than that of those children in impoverished countries. I certainly didn’t deserve it.

3. My wonderful, loving, hard working, humorous, godly, great father of a husband.

4. My two, smart, adorable, funny, healthy little girls

5. My awesome parents, sister Steph, brother Bryan, brother in law Waylon and  adorable niece Brooklyn

6. My awesome inlaws and brother in law

7. My loving grandparents and extended family

8. Facebook so I can keep in touch with everyone!

9. Blogging- an outlet I have in the past year discovered that I love

10. My friends

11. God’s wisdom and direction in finding a new church home

12. Mike’s good job and that God has continued to provide this job for Mike and meet all our needs

13. Our home

14. Good health for my family

15. Our troops who put their life on the line daily to keep us and our freedom safe

Tomorrow will be spent at my in laws’ house, where we’ll stuff our selves silly, play games with the girls (I’m sure a princess game is on the list), play Texas Hold ‘Em and plan our Black Friday shopping. I’m bringing the side dishes while my mother in law makes everything else!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my family, loved ones, friends and anyone else who is reading this post!
