Thankful
When I awoke this morning and realized I didn't have to go anywhere but home today, I thanked God. When my husband walked the kids down to the bus stop and I didn't have to get all bundled up, I thanked God, for my wonderful husband. When Benji was playing with them on the bed before he left for work, and laughter was filling my house, I thanked God, for a husband that is the best father, and that we have so much joy in my house. As Benji walked out the door and gave me a kiss goodbye, and I get to stay at home everyday with my little ones, I thanked God for my husband once again for being a great provider. As I went to clean up my kitchen from last nights get together, I was overwhelmed with emotion. One that I was thankful to God that I have this house, and I actually was enjoying cleaning it lately, But mostly thankful for the people that were here last night, so thankful that God had put each of them in my life, all fulfilling something I've needed. And that the one we celebrated, was so happy and I would do anything to keep her that way. I thanked God that she felt the love we all had for her, and that He gave us her to do all that for.As I go back in my head from last night and see all the faces in the room, and I recall all He has done for each of them, and all I know He is going to do, I see His glory through them all. Even as I cleaned up the cherry pie, and my kids were begging to have them for breakfast,that apart of my friend is rubbing off on my kids, I realized more how truly blessed I am, I just can't believe God loves me this much. I know He meant for us to enjoy this life, I'm just so glad He has made it so easy for me to do so. As I sit here and type these words, and I'm drinking coffee, I thank God, I don't know if I could make it with out it! I have so much to be thankful for, it's only 9:26 in the morning, and I've already been given so much today.. I can't wait to see how many more gifts are in today. God you are so good, and if I've failed to tell you lately, I'm so sorry, but thank you for being who you are. And help me see You in everything, all your goodness. I love you.

I have been lacking in the being thankful mode lately. Or at least expressing to Him how thankful I am for everything ande everyone in my life. I am blessed more than I ever could imagine or deserve, so Thank you for reminding me to thank Him more often!
we're equally thankful today. i still just can't stop crying- knowing how much everyone did to make me feel so loved.
you should be thankful for that wonderful house- it is where i (and so many others) feel so at home. you have an amazing husband, and kids so sweet that i wish they were mine!
i am thankful for you, in too many ways to write on this blog. thankful, thankful, thankful. but mostly i'm thankful to Him- who gave me you and who continues to give to us all.
