Thankfulness...

Last week a friend of mine wrote a blog entry about being thankful. I felt a tug then to write down what I was thankful for, but then never did. Then, yesterday at church the message was about being thankful and how God loves when we are thankful for what he gives us. I am very thankful for so many things in my life and thought I should finally take the time to jot them down. So ....here goes:


I am thankful for my husband- although we have our moments....he is a GREAT husband and father and trys so very hard to keep me happy. Which for those of you who know me well.... you know that this is NOT an easy task. I am blessed to have such a loving , caring husband. Thank you God for Tim !!!


I am thankful for my daughter - I have known since I was a little girl that I was going to be the mother of ONE little girl. I don't know why...but God planted that seed early and it stuck with me. When I got pregnant I bought girl bedding right away. Everyone said I should wait....but I knew. I love Emma with all my heart and all my soul. She is everything that is right, rolled up into a beautiful little girl and I get the priviledge of loving and taking care of her everyday. Thank you God for Emma!!!

I am thankful for my Mother and Father- Who knew my parents would be such GREAT grandparents??? They love Emma so much and she loves them. We are blessed.

I am thankful for my friends - I used to think that I only needed one or two good friends. But as I get older, I realize that I not only like having lots of good friends....but I NEED them. I am so very fortunate to have such great girlfriends.

I am thankful for my sister-in-law- I am so lucky to have someone who can understand my life like she does. When the secrect is too dark to tell ....I can tell her. Thank you God for Stacey!!

I am thankful for my job - I have the BEST job in the whole world. My boss is so very generous to me. He truly cares .....my life would be so different without him in it giving me guidance along the way.

I am thankful for my life - God has done so many wonderful things in my life. It hasn't always been easy....but HE has always seen me through it and I know that He always will.
