In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to take a few minutes today to list some of the things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for…
- salvation
- freedom
- my amazing husband
- my wonderful families – my family by birth and my family by marriage
- fantastic friends
- the great church families I’ve been a part of in all the various places I’ve lived
- Michael’s new job
- the fact that I’ve been getting to travel with Michael recently
- being *this close* to finished with my masters degree (a few “housekeeping” things left for this semester, then one class left in the spring!)
- my health
- a roof over my head, food on my table, heat, and other basic amenities that so many go without
- my Crockpot and KitchenAid mixer that make cooking healthy meals so much easier
- the new mop that has redefined how I feel about mopping (do you have one yet? Ask Santa!)
- still having all four of my grandparents
- spinning and Zumba
- crafting
- my iPhone
- peanut butter
- healthy pregnancies and babies for my friends who are pregnant or have recently had babies
- this blog
- the fabulous feasts we will eat today and Sunday
- getting to see family this weekend that we don’t get to see often
- variety
- Hulu
- our mattress
- libraries and books
- the ability to see, smell, taste, hear, and feel the world around me
- Sharpies
- chapstick
Obviously this is not an exhaustive list. I will never be able to express all the things I am thankful for as God has so richly blessed us. These are just the first things that came to mind.
I hope you have a wonderful day today with your loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving!
