After reading all of the “thankful” posts each day on Facebook, I decided I would refrain from being held to updating my status daily with my “thankful’s” and rather compile a BIG list here. It’s so hard to assemble any words that could touch a description from my heart and soul. Of course, there are lots of things I am thankful for – the obvious and some random oddities as well, but I have chosen the ones at the forefront of my mind this Thanksgiving. Whatever you celebrate at Thanksgiving…turkey, football, family, Black Friday…may you take a moment to reflect within yourself and give a true moment of thanks.
My Top 10 “Thankfuls”
· Father, Son, & Holy Spirit – for filling my void, forgiveness, and much more
· Philip – for his love, humor, and wit. For his encouragement and support. For the way he is an amazing daddy to our children. For his intelligence and creativity. It’s amazing how two people collide at the hand of God….and he’s pretty cute too. J
· My Children – without a shadow of a doubt. Indescribable love. (insert bawling mom)
· My parents – I am so fortunate to have strong shoulders to stand on. For all they have done, still do, and will always be.
· My family – a LONG list, but truly, I don’t know what I’d do without any of them.
· My country – how amazing is it to wake up each day and be a proud American? The trust and dignity in having FREEDOM! Grateful for all who serve for that freedom!
· My job – at times stressful and grueling, but all in all I love it! I could not ask for better bosses. It’s the most rewarding thing to wake up each day and get to do what you love. The 9 year old dreamer in me knew I could do it!
· My church – tickled pink with where God has us right now. I love just being a part of New Hope, even if my husband didn’t work there, I would still love it!
· My iPhone – of which I may never keep in touch with the world, emails, texts, phone calls, and sleepless Pinterest nights J (if you have no idea what Pinterest is, google it…warning…it’s addicting!)
· Health – for me and my family
