Well, with Thanksgiving coming next week, I started thinking about all I have to be thankful for. I've realized in the past few months, God blesses us abundantly, although it may take us a while to realize exactly how He is blessing us. In saying this, it took me a while to be thankful for exactly what I had, instead of what I thought I should have. That humbles you pretty quickly. He desired for me to rely totally on him, so when I did see my blessings that are so bountiful, I would appreciate them even more. In saying this, we are so thankful for His outpouring of eternal love. I'm so thankful for my wonderful, supportive husband, Ferrell. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to do half of the things I do. He is such a great guy, and I'm so thankful God blessed me with him. I'm also thankful for the Godly family He has blessed me with. They are so wonderful, even if I don't get to see everyone as much as I would like. Thankfulness even extends to Miss Daisy- she keeps me from being so focused on myself!! And last, but certainly not least, I'm eternally grateful for our newest blessing, Baby Soles. When we think back about how long it took to get here, we are so blessed by the miracle of our baby. That is our biggest blessing this year. Thank you Lord for your many blessings... they are so bountiful!!!
Psalm 69:30- I will praise God's name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
That's all for now.... What are you thankful for???
