Today I come with a very grateful heart for so many things. First and foremost I am grateful for the sacrifice that Jesus made for me so that I can live eternally. While I fail many, many times a day, it is His blood that covers my sins and for that I am very grateful. God has also blessed me with two wonderful children. Every morning I wake up to two beautiful children who are happy to start the day. They are so kind and loving (most of the time!) and it is a joy to be their mother. Those kids love with all their heart. They love to giggle, chase, hide, run and tickle! Dustin and I are very blessed that God chose us to be their parents.
I am also thankful for my husband. He is an amazing father and husband. He supports me...no matter how crazy my decision may sound (or actually may be!). He is a wonderful friend, confidant, supporter, encourager, and provider. After almost 7 years of marriage we still have fun like we were 20! We laugh and joke just as much as we did back then. It is a true blessing to have such a godly husband.
I am also thankful for my friends. Just a few are pictured here. They were at the finish line after my marathon. My good friend Nicole (so talented) made these signs and everyone else was cheering me on. While I may not have many friends the ones I have are supportive, good listerners, let me laugh and cry when I need to, love to shop, and give me great advice.
I am also grateful for my family. I'm not sure why I can't find a recent picture (think they're on my sister's computer). My family both mine and my in-laws are always there for us, support us, comfort us, and love us unconditionally. It is great to have that type of family. I wish that everyone could say that.
God has blessed me and my family in so many ways this year I cannot name them all. After the loss of my cousin in July I have truly become thankful for every day I am allowed to spend with my kids, husband, family and friends. I hope you cherish this time with your loved ones.
