It has just hit me with in the past few days that I am in LOVE with Fall! The weather, the trees, the feeling... it's like no other. It make me excited to know the holidays are just around the corner. I appreciate nature so much more now and am thankful for these blessings. I have been seeing people post on Facebook of things they are thankful for and I thought I would post about all the things that "I" am thankful for. I pray that each of you that read this blog wake daily with something to be thankful for. If you focus on the positive rather than the negative, your whole life perspective will change.
I am thankful for:
My husband that loves us unconditionally and works daily to provide a better life for his family.
My boys that are healthy and happy and perfect.
My salvation. God gave me this gift and I am forever grateful.
My Mom and Dad and step parents that have raised me and help mold me to be the person I am today.
My grandparents that taught me things that I will always remember and will pass the memories to my children.
My In-laws that love and support us and graciously gave me my husband with open arms.
My health.
My Home.
My Job.
My freedom.
My friends, near and far that are there for me whenever I call or text.
My sisters. Each are so different but teach me to be more open minded and free spirited. I, however, keep them grounded! ;)
My sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws that provide us with extended family to laugh, cry, love, and celebrate with.
My mornings that usually bring me joy or none the less, a new day.
The power of prayer.
Children that will hold our future, but I have a heart for kids and they always seem to put a smile on my face.
My food. That I can afford to buy what we need (even if it is off brands!)
I am certain that I have left something off that is important to me. I hope this month will be different for you and you can find something to be grateful for. So what if it's not the life you dreamed of having right now, you have a new day to tell someone you love them or show them you love them. In the past week, I know one family that lost a loved one by surprise and another that received a negative report about a loved one. We live for today and today, I am thankful for!
