Thanksgiving!!

Tonight I am sitting in my parents house and listening to the kids. They are supposed to be in bed sleeping but they are whispering and laughing. Mike is playing a video game. I am sitting here thanking God for so many things. This year has been a crazy year for us. In the last year we have traveled many miles, safely. I have quit my job and began homeschooling. We have seen sickness come and go. God has taken such good care of us. I know that I have taken it for granted at times, but over the last few weeks, God has reminded me to be Thankful.

I look at my kids and see that they are all healthy. I look at our pantry and see we have food. I look at our van (with over 150,000 miles) and see that it still runs. I look at my husband and see that he loves me. I look at our bank account and see we have money. (not much but it's there!) I look at the world and see God's art work every morning in the sunrise. As I sit here, all I can say is "Thank you Lord!! You have been so good to me. I don't know where I would be if you had not saved my soul! Thank you Lord for dieing for me. Thank you for being patient with me while my faith grows."

How has God blessed you this year?
Have you thanked Him?
Have you told Him you love Him?
