Our pastor's series is no coincidence. I need to adjust my attitude. No matter the situation I have a lot to be thankful for. I need to remember being thankful is something I should express everyday not just the 4th Thursday in November. Since i never did here's my list.
25 things I'm thankful for:
1. My savior, He paid the price of sin so I wouldn't have to.
2. Freedom to practice my faith without fear of persecution.
3. My amazing husband. He works his fingers to the bone to provide for his family. More than anything he loves me unconditionally and he has a true heart for God.
3. My children. These 3 treasures have taught me so much about life in their short lives.
4. My new church family.
5. Loving friends. I have been blessed to have a couple wonderful friends. They are always there when I need them.
6. My homeschool group. Homeschooling is not easy but a wonderful group to share the journey with helps.
7. A nice warm bed.
8. Food to feed my family.
9. Clothes.
10. Warm coats on cold winter days.
11. Our wood stove. My diligent husband cuts wood every winter so we can utilize wonderful free heat.
12. My van. While not brand new it takes our family where we need to go!
13. Technology! It makes homeschooling, running a family, keeping in touch and more a breeze.
14. My mother . My mother passed away 11 years ago but the things she instilled in me are forever part of me.
15. My dad. He has always shown a great example of hard work and perseverance. He continues to be a great source of comfort and advice for me.
16. Washer and dryer (or in my case mostly a clothes line) . I am thankful for modern washing machines. I can't imagine scrubbing Michael's work clothes on a wash board. I mostly use a clothes line but I am thankful for a dryer in the cold winter months.
17. Refrigerators!
18. Freedom!
19. My siblings. While we don't alway see eye to eye is am thankful my parents gave me siblings.
20. My inlaws. I am thankful for lots of family who love and support us.
21. My stepmom. She is good for my dad! And our family!
22. My stepsister. It's been such fun getting to have a bonus sister!
23. My nieces and nephews. I am so thankful my kids have cousins!
24. Michael's new job.
25.I am thankful God continues to be faithful and work in our lives.
I really thought I was going to have a hard time coming up with 25 but once I started it was hard time stop....
26. My health.
27. Electricity
28. Running water...clean running water.
I have so much to be thankful for! What about you?
