Thanksgiving

I'd love write a beautiful and meaning post here because Thanksgiving is such a special holiday and time of year but time is short with the little ones and I'm in the middle of baking for tomorrow.

Instead, a quick list of things I'm thankful for

• God's grace and all the blessings He has given me

• My wonderful, loving, hardworking husband.  God has truly blessed me with my husband and I love him SO very much!!

• Our precious girls.  Being a mother is such an incredible gift and responsibilty and I'm so thankful for my girls.

• Our home.  It's nothing fancy and in need of repairs...but it's our home where we have shelter and love and make our family memories.  I love it!

• Our health.

• Our struggles and our challenges.  While it would be nice to have the perfect little life, each struggle and obstacle is given to us from God.  I'm so grateful that He is working in my life to bring me closer to him, to make me a better Christian, wife, mother, friend.  I'm grateful that He causes me to evaluate my heart.  I'm so very grateful to know that He will never give me anything I cannot handle.

• Our families.  We are so blessed to have amazing families that love us and are always there for us.

•  Food on our table.

I hope you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving!!!!  From our family to yours...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
