I know this is AFTER Thanksgiving, but I didn't get to the computer on Thanksgiving like I had wanted to so this is after the fact.....But I am really curious as to the top 5 things you are thankful for....leave me your list and you may get something in the mail if I draw your name! (No need for random number selectors around here because there won't be more than 5 posts anyway!!!)
The Top 5 Things I am Thankful for...
1- Jesus, honestly His presence in the lives of my husband and I have changed us in remarkable ways over the last 6 1/2 years.
2- A healthy marriage. Sure, sometimes my dh says really insentive things and acts like a big oaf, but he is a man. We have a marriage that was on the rocks for awhile but the last year God has worked miracles in each of us and we are so blessed to have a healthy marriage.
3- My children. OH yes, they drive me crazy, they have brought to the surface things in my personality that I wish were not there, but they are the greatest blessing! There is nothing like the feel of my youngest's hand in mine as we walk together. I love the smile on my middle daughter's face...ooooh that dimple in her chin melts me everytime, and my oldest is so much fun to talk to and watch her grow into her own person.
4. Our home and my husband's job. 2 years ago he was laid off for a few months and it was the scariest thing ever. Living in Michigan, I am always aware how lucky we are that he is employed and I am able to stay home to raise the girls.
5- Friends---Christian friends, stamping friends, friends you love like family...some of them even fit into mulitple categories. I can't imagine my life without friends!

Oohh! Am I first?! Shhh...don't spread the word too much and maybe I'll finally have a chance to win something. ;)
I'm thankful for....
1. God's grace (I'm sure needing it)
2. My husband and children (I am just too lucky for words)
3. My family (those near and far...some are too far for my liking, but I know they are happy where they are at)
4. Health of my family (we've had our fair share of trying times but currently are coasting along!)
5. Quiet, snowy winter days (You know the ones...you have no where to go, the trees are white and heavy, the flakes are falling softly. Have you ever went outside and listened to the silence on a still winter night? It is amazingly peaceful.)
Can I throw in a #6? Non-fat vanilla lattes!! Hot or iced, they are pure YUM! :D
Let's see... I am thankful for:
1. My kids.
2. Our health.

1. after 10 years of suffering from Crohn's Disease I am finally in remission and feel great

Thanks!

I am most thankful for my family and my improved health. Also, for the comfortable life I have, my wonderful friends, and my job.
I am thankful for:
1. My husband,he is the best and takes great care of us all!!
2. My kids, without them I would feel so empty and lost!
3. My FRIENDS, they have helped me through the worst times in my life and have understood me!!
4. Our health, we have had some small issues but overall are greatfull.
5. My hobbies, they help me get through minor problems in life but always remind me of the GREAT things I am cherished to have!!
1) for a decent place to live, otherwise known as a roof over your head, 2) clean water to drink 3) hot running water as well 4) plenty of food available to us 5) the availability to visit a doctor or hospital when needed.
Why? because too many people in many countries do not even have this. These are the simple things in life that we take for granted, and our lives are filled with so much more than this. It makes me stop and think.
