Giving Thanks

This year at Thanksgiving I am especially thankful. Every year I have more than just "something" to be thankful for but in reflecting this year I am in awe of the wonderful life with which God has blessed me. Here are my top 10 blessings for which I am thanking God continually but especially this week. I must also say that due to my recent problem with being so long winded. . .this is my second draft. In the first I had more than a paragraph describing each one:) Here is the much shorter version!

1. God's unending grace and mercy. He is always faithful.

2. A wonderful and loving husband. Neither of us are perfect but we are most certainly perfect for each other.

3. A precious son who lights up my life and makes me smile each morning.

4. The huge blessing of having a husband who works tirelessly to provide me the opportunity to be home with Jackson each day.

5. Parents. . .mine and Jays. They have raised and loved Jay and I to be the people we are today.

6. A sister who is so much more than a friend. One who helps me through motherhood and life with love and laughter.

7. A brother who I am very proud of and who is doing the hard things it takes to fill the gap between where he currently is and where he wants to be in life.

8. Grandparents. A grandmother who has always modeled God's love to me. A grandfather who has always been my biggest fan.

9. Friends who are my life and my support system:) God has really blessed me with the most fantastic girlfriends in the world. I often owe my sanity to so many of you.

10. A wonderful country within which I am continually proud and grateful to belong. God bless America!
