Great post, Nette! I think it is super to think of the things we are thankful for.
1. I am thankful that I have my faith and even though it has been tested, it still stands stong.
2. I am thankful for my family. I was raised by wonderful parents in a loving household and am blessed with a wonderful husband of 13 years and 2 beautiful children that are 10 and 7. They are fabulous children and I am very appreciative that I wake up every morning to see their smiling faces!
Plus, Bella and our cat Sophie bring so much joy to our lives.
3. I am thankful for my family's health. Although my oldest daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 6 (a major surprise to us since we don't have any history of diabetes), it has strengthened our family and our faith. Please count your blessings for the health of your loved ones. From experience, nothing is guaranteed for tomorrow, so be thankful for what you have today!
4. I am thankful for my daughters' school and the teachers that work there. They are a group of wonderful people that spend more waking hours with my children than I do. I am so happy that they take the responsibility so seriously. Because they do, I feel good everyday when I drop them off!
5. I am thankful that I live in a country that values freedom and is willing to fight for it. There are many service men and women around the world that are without their families tonight, so that I many be with mine. For that I am very grateful. God Bless you all for the sacrifice you are making.
I know I am blessed and need to take more opportunities to realize it. I love this season for that reason that it makes people realize how fortunate they are. I hope I will take the time to let those around me know how precious they are to me.
YT'ers---I am thanksful for the comraderie I receive from this site.
What a wonderful group of people!
