Thankful

I am so incredibly thankful...

and not just because it is Thanksgiving and Mom fixed sweet potato casserole, but because I have so many blessings to be thankful for...

all through out the year...

and while life ain't always easy...

I know how truly blessed we are....

and I know how thankful I should be....

all the time...

I have worked so hard this past year to try and be thankful in all circumstances...

 

 

 and while I have not always been successful at this, I am learning that it is through the tough stuff that we see the good stuff.

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.  2 Corinthians 12:9-10

So I am thankful...

even when I am doing the third load of laundry for the day, even when the kids aren't being very thankful, even when the dish washer breaks, even when the microwave breaks, even when Hubby swears he is right and he is so not (wink), even when the cars don't run quite right - ever and even when the worries of the future creep in...

I am thankful.

I mean after all, I have a washing machine, I have kids, I have a dish washer, I have a microwave, I have a Hubby, I have a car and I have dreams of a future.

I am blessed y'all!

With all that is going on in the world today, what the heck do I have to complain about...

EVER

So, today, we officially gave thanks and after eating much of what we were thankful for (hehe)...

we got to have fun...

with our family...

 

 

 playing football....

 

 

 and just enjoying each other....

 

 

 and the time that we had together...

 

 

  to laugh...

 

 

 and to recognize all that we have been given and the love that He has surrounded us with.

 

 

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
