As children growing up we frequently said something we were thankful for around the Sunday diner table. I seldom ever do that anymore but try to often find reasons to be thankful even when I don't voice them like that. These are a FEW,and I stress few since there are new blessings each day and the list is soooo long, of the things I am thankful for this season and always.
- my sister Joy(especially, since she just pulled through a scary time of extreme sickness)
- my other sisters,Rachel,Becky & Leah
- my brother Timothy(Bud)
- my parents
- three beautiful children
- a loving and hard working husband
- extended family
- the assurance of sins forgiven
- a big (at least to us)house
- a job to provide for our family
- great in-laws
- a slightly deformed garage door instead of injured boys (DON'T ASK!!)
- a dented suburban instead of an injured husband (yes,our life stays interesting:)
- family get togethers always a blast!
- a healthy new nephew
- five nieces and another nephew
- Christmastime I love it !
- flowers
- my laundry/hobby room
- visits with friends
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

And now I am off for a few days to do something I don't get to do too often; spend Thanksgiving with family.
