I am thankful for fall; I love the weather and the beautiful colors it brings! I love staring at the colorful trees which are backdropped by a crystal blue sky. God is an amazing artist!
I am thankful for all of my family’s good health, and that all that we need God has provided. I am thankful for my husband, who is God’s greatest tool for taking care of me. He shows me love, encourages my dreams, and, like me, is dedicated to not only having a lasting marriage, but a happy one. 🙂
I am thankful for my Mom and Dad for giving me an excellent spiritual foundation which I pass on to my daughters; My brother, Michael, our comedian and “fun-time” in the family. I am thankful for my sister, Jo Anna, who is also my best friend, and their daughters, Sydney and Olivia. And I am thankful for my brother-in-law, Craig, who not knowing what he was marrying into, has chosen to love all of us and stick it out, not dragging my sister’s behind back to Minnesota where the sane people apparently live. (To quote Julia Sugarbaker from Designing Women, “In the south we don’t ask IF you have crazy people in your family, we ask, which side?”; mine are on both 🙂 ) I am thankful for all of my family who has strived to stay a family over the years!
Take the time to count your blessings today… What are you thankful for?
I am thankful for our friendship!
I’m also thankful for a mother that not only makes me strive to be as great of a woman as she is by just being herself but also who has shown me how to love my children unconditionally. I’m thankful for a father who is an idealist and believes in the goodness in people first. I’m thankful for two brothers who make me proud to be their sister, not only because of how much they are willing to use their giftings for something greater than themselves, but also for how much they love, respect and encourage their wives and for showing me what true friendship is in a marriage. Both Jill and Tracy have said they became more of themselves after they got married because they were encouraged to think outside of the box and be the best of who they are.
I’m thankful for two sister in laws that are hilarious and supportive and so giving.
I’m thankful that I was born during a time where I am allowed to, as a woman, develop my giftings and talents and contribute them to encourage, love and entertain the next generation so they can live a life powered by God and backed by an imagination of endless possibilities.
I’m also thankful for carbs. The End.
Amen! We have a lot to be thankful for.
Thank you for the reminder to actually BE thankful! Sometimes in our busy-ness we forget to give thanks for the good things in our lives (it’s so easy to ask for help, but hard to say Thank You).
I’m thankful for my 2 healthy happy sons, and my healthy (quit smoking 6 months ago) happy husband!
Today I’m thankful I checked my reader! For some reason something changed and it wasn’t sending me your new articles. ;o) I’ve got some catching up to do…LOL
