10 Things I Am Thankful For

I might as well stick with 10. It always seems like a good number.

I am thankful for:

1. My immediate family. Jacob, Daniel and James. I am thankful that God gave me my own little family that fills my heart with love.

2. The rest of my family. I don't know what I would do without all of these amazing people in my life. 

3. God's love and grace. I'm so thankful that he is a God of love and forgiveness. His mercies are new every morning!

4. A roof over my head. These all sound so cliche, but it's true. Sometimes it feels like our house is crumbling around us, but we have a home and for that I am thankful!

5. Modern technology that allows me to be connected to loved ones both near and far away on a daily basis.

6. My friends. I don't have many close friends, but the ones that are know who they are and know what a difference they make in my life!

7. Chocolate. I mean, let's face it. Life would just be sad without chocolate.

8. The 4 seasons. Sure, winter kinda sucks, but I love living in a place where I get to experience all 4 seasons every year.

9. Music. Life would be pretty boring without it!

10. My church. I love having a place that I look forward to going to each week to worship and dig deeper into God's word.

That said...I hope every has a very Happy Thanksgiving! We're off to Iowa tomorrow and will celebrate Thanksgiving and the boys birthdays on Saturday!
