Thanksgiving

While a lot of us will reflect over the year and our "thankfuls" today.  I want to share.  I have not played the thankful game on FB this year, but that does not mean I am not thankful! 

It is these holidays that I miss my mom the very most.  Holidays are just not the same anymore...not as fun...  Time for new traditions, a new kind of fun. 

But I am thankful for what she instilled in me...for my heritage.

I am thankful for my husband.  I am so glad that God put us together.  I cannot imagine...don't want to imagine...life without him.  He has helped me through so many of my insecurities.  He knows when I am uncomfortable in a situation and why.  He is my sounding board (bless his heart), He truly completes me.  I am forever thankful for him.

I am thankful for my 3 wonderful boys.  They each have their strong points that makes me appreciate them on an individual level.  I love all my men! ;)

I am thankful for a home, warmth, roof, food, clothes, shoes...everything that God has given me.

I am thankful for Jesus.  Where would we be without him?

I am thankful...SOOO thankful...for my church family.  There have been a lot of "voids", this year especially, and they so have filled in those gaps!  I think this has been the most difficult year of our married life (and I don't mean between David and I, just life circumstances) and my dear church family has been right there beside us, encouraging us and helping us along...when others have forsaken us and left us behind in their dust!  I cannot express what they have come to mean to me!

I am thankful for a place to get my soul fed...that lives what they teach!  Oh I could go on and on and on.  There is just so much to be thankful for.  And once you get started it's kind of hard to stop! 

I truly have many blessings to count today!  Don't you?  Have a truly blessed Thanksgiving!

Still,
