Okay, so this year was not a year I'd like to really live through again, but I am definitely thankful for many things and have been richly blessed.
My "Thankfulness" List:
1. A God who loves me and puts up with my whiny-ness and short-comings. He's provided much more than I deserve!
2. A husband who loves me and puts up with my whiny-ness and short-comings, too. He's a truly remarkable man, though I don't let him know I think that enough. His love for God and his passion to reach youth is amazing, and even in trying times he's never lost his love for either one.
3. Two wonderful, healthy children, who have really shown me how awesome they are by surviving all of the changes we've endured as a family, and have proven to be some truly classy and resilent kids!
4. Family who loves us, even though we don't see them as often as we'd like.
5. A home to call our own. An especially big one, considering we were basically homeless for about 6 weeks this Fall.
6. Jobs.
7. Transportation, even though it's been a little testy, we still have some form of it.
8. A wonderful opportunity to be involved in a new church plant, I can't wait to see what 2006 brings with that.
9. The possibility of going back to school in January, to finish my teaching degree.
10. Health. I'm thankful that through all of the stresses and changes, our family has stayed healthy!!!
Today has been a good day. Brined turkey, dressing, taters and gravy, yams, corn, pecan pie, cheesecake....YUM!!!
Now onto a busy holiday season..... "sigh"!
