A Time for Thanks

Just like most people right now, I am thankful for so many things. Our family has been blessed beyond measure. And while EVERY day we should count our blessings, Thanksgiving Day and the whole holiday season is the time I most realize just what God has done. So, thank you God for these things:
Our family - We stress about all the places we have to visit on the holidays, but what an awesome "problem" to have... shame on us!
Our parents - Unconditional love, support, and HELP! Thank you!!
My husband - So much patience and understanding in this one man. He is the glue that holds our little family together
Our children - What precious blessings!! May we never forget or take for granted these gifts from above and the privilege it is to raise them.
Our friends - The people we can laugh with
Our health - By God's grace we are healthy as can be.
Salvation - And most of all.... if one or all of the above things is taken away, we can still look to our Heavenly Father. He hears our cries, knows our hearts, catches us when we fall, and forgives and loves us UNCONDITIONALLY. Thank you, Lord.
