“Serve the LORD in sincerity and in truth... Choose you this day whom you will serve.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Thankful for...

...my Savior, Christ Jesus. The lessons I'm learning are only drawing me closer to you.
...my husband - the one who loves me unconditionally and completely.
...my son who brings joy and laughter into everyday.
...the expected arrival of my daughter. I can't wait to meet you.
...my parents - for teaching me the value of family and God. I find myself tapping into your lessons on a regular basis.
...my Moo - I love you!
...my in-laws - your acceptance and love have made me feel welcome and given me a second family.
...my church family and their friendships.
...my friends who are more precious than gold and I hope you know how much I love each of you.
...my family - close and extended - when times are tough we are always there for one another and I am truly grateful.
...my home - safe and warm.
...wisdom - though I have very little I am extremely thankful for bite size pieces God is giving me.
...love - without it I would be incomplete.
...my bank account. Although no one would be impressed with the size of it I am thankful that I'm able to pay my bills, take care of my family, and enjoy a meal out every once in a while.
...my hearing - I love to hear the laughter, music, and stories that are shared this time of year.
...my eyesight - to appreciate all the beauty God has created.
...electronics - cell phones, computers, etc. Sometimes they get in the way, but I like being able to stay connected.
...food. All the goodness of sweets, starches, and carbs. Oh, and the healthy stuff too.
...running water - I would hate to have to use an outhouse...especially being 9 months pregnant.
...my health and the health of my family. May I not take it for granted.
There are so many things to be thankful for, and the above list is just a few of the things I'm so thankful for this year. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with a big slice of pumpkin pie!
