Yesterday was a rough one. I got news that a good friend lost her first grandchild and some sad news about my grandfather, and an emotional e-mail from my mother. As a result of just thinking about all of those things, I have been thinking the last two days about things that I am grateful for. I know that sometimes we get into the ick of life and just forget about all of our blessings. Here are things that came to mind:
-healthy children
-loving/supportive husband
-that I don't have to please man, only God
-friends who laugh and cry with me
-unconditional love from my children
-parents who taught me to love and obey the Lord
-in-laws who taught Ian the same
-that the past can be just that-PAST
What do you have to be grateful for?

I am thankful for many of the same things that you listed, as I know we are so blessed! I am also thankful that I live in a place where I can go to church any time I want and worship God anywhere I want.
I just wanted to say how amazing I think you are. I am GRATEFUL to be with you in the NOW. You are extremely dear to me and I am worshiping the Lord with thanksgiving that He would providentially bless us with each other. I love you.
Our little "cowboy" how far we have come!! I am thankful for the friendship of "the Mother and Bubba" and all of the laughter and tears that it has brought to all of us!!
