Blessings

I love thanksgiving. I love the fact that we have a day to take time to thank God for all of the blessings and amazing things in our lives. Today, I was talking to Audrey about what Thanksgiving means and at one point I told her that Thanksgiving is a day to thank God for everything we have, everything we can give, and being alive and well. She said "Mom, we should do that every day." Plain and simple. So true!!! Although, like I said, it is great that this day exists, to see our families, to remember good times and to eat alot, I need to remember that every day is a blessing and I have been given so much and much is required of me. My sweet family, my amazing friends, new and old, very hard times in my life, and great, good times in my life, that is what I am thankful for. Love and commitment from a wonderful husband, hugs and kisses from my children, an amazing mom and dad, mother-in-law, and father-in-law, blessings beyond what I could have hoped for, that is what I am thankful for. My health, the ability to exercise and be fit and healthy, the ability to give and give and give until I have nothing left, that is what I am thankful for. My Best Friend, my Saviour, my Redeemer.....He is who I am thankful for. I want to remember these things not only in this Thanksgiving time of year, but always, every day and consistently throughout my life. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!! LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!!
