Many thanks on a thankful Thanksgiving!

Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I just wanted to take this time to pause and give thanks. There are moments when it feels like Thanksgiving is just going to be another day. And there are moments when I am caught up with the thoughts of the day after and all the planning I have to do for next month. But to pause and think about the present and remember what tomorrow is all about brings a smile to my face and a joy in my heart.


1. John. He compliments my life so well, I truly know that God made him for me. He always makes me laugh and I always find myself in awe of him. The love he has for me is great and unconditional. He is always trying to better himself and our life. When he looks at me he looks into my heart and soul. He is so supportive and he helps me discover what I want and achieve. His humility and grace he as for life is such an amazing example to me. I love him so so so very much.


2. Tiffany. My secret lover, lol (inside joke). She is always there for me and without even saying it she knows what I am thinking. I know we can argue and butt heads but she will still be there at the end of the argument. She really is my best friend and God placed us in each other's lives for a reason.


3. My home. I will be honest and say that for the past couple of years I have always complained about my house and was always talking about the days when I am out of here. But as we all know this year the economy has not been good and I am constantly hearing about foreclosures and how hard it is for anyone to buy a home right now. It made me realize that I am so incredibly blessed to have my mortgage paid every month and I have this house. This house is truly my home. It is not the walls or the roof that make it that way but it is the memories and the love that feel this place that make it so special.


4. Cell sisters. I love all of these women. (They are not all in the photo obviously) They are amazing examples for me and they truly do help me grow each and every day. They might hate me for saying this but I love having the feeling that I have a bunch of moms. The love and help they show me is so amazing and I couldn't imagine not being able to seem them every week. They are so important that I am going to shout out all there names; Adrienne, Joyce, Wendie, Selena, Ameritia, Reyna, Shelly, Jackie, Nadine, Carolyn, and Lesley!


5. Me. Yes I am thankful for me. God has given me health and strength. I remember a day when I didn't like myself or who I was. But my relationship with Jesus has given me a new perspective. I know there is a plan for my life and the plan is good because all things work for the good and glory of God. I have purpose and I am so thankful that God has trusted me to carry it out!
