I am thankful (cont.)....

I was reminded yesterday of a few more things that I am thankful for so I am writing again.

12.) I am very thankful for my new family. My in-laws have taken me in as if I had always been there and I love them very much.

13.) I have already mentioned my family, but I feel I should say how thankful I am for my Mimi & Popsie and my Grandpa.

14.) I am very thankful that I got to know my Grandma even for a little while. I know she is looking down on her family and smiling. I love you Grandma and can't wait to see you again!

15.) Today being Veterans Day, I am thankful for our military who has fought hard in many wars to ensure our freedom and security here in the United States of America. I feel honored to work directly for the Army Aviation to help ensure their safety. (Which reminds me, I need to tell you a little about what I do in another blog!)

16.) I thankful that I have been blessed with so many things to be thankful for!

That's it for now I guess. I could go on and on about all the things I am thankful for but I would be wasting my life typing about it!

I am thankful....

So as many of you know, it is Fall Time which means cooler weather, longer sleeves and pants, changing and falling leaves, but it also means.....WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO CHRISTMAS! :)

It also means that Thanksgiving is drawing near. Two weeks from tomorrow to be exact. I have been inspired by everyone on Facebook doing the daily "I am thankful for today." I have not been diligent enough to even start this endeavor, but I would like to use this blog for exactly that.

1.) I am most thankful for Jesus, my Savoir. I am thankful that he loved me enough to die for me.

2.) I am thankful for my family. They are the absolute best!

3.) I am thankful for my mom who cooks supper for Morgan and me on most Monday and Tuesday nights simply because she loves us :)

4.) I am thankful for my dad, my hero. I know I can always look to him for comfort and support.

5.)  I am thankful for my husband who loves me, supports me, and will do anything for me.

6.) I am thankful that I have been blessed to grow up with horses. My first love. :)

7.) I am thankful for my awesome job. I may complain about the drive, but I can't complain about the money, the benefits, and having every other Friday off!

8.) I am thankful for a warm and cozy home.

9.)  I am thankful for Sweet Home Baptist Church. The church I grew up in, where my dad is pastor, and where I can always feel safe and loved.

10.) I am thankful for the little things in life, clothes to wear, blankets, shoes, etc.

11.) I am thankful for my and my family's health.

There are so many more things I am thankful for, but I would like to think this is my top ten list....er 11. :)

I hope that this Holiday season we can all stop and think about the things we are thankful for and remember why we are so blessed to have these things.



"Giving thanks always and for everything to
God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
