What I Am Thankful For

Since it is Thanksgiving and a time to be thankful I thought I would list things I am thankful for:

1. Jesus Christ - I am thankful God sent his Son to die for everyone, especially me. I am more thankful that I know I will have eternal live because of Him.
2. My Husband - I am thankful for everything about him, but I appreciate so much all that he does for our family and that above all he tries his hardest to make us happy.
3. My girls - they are such a blessing to me and everyday they show me in some way why I love them so much. I am so thankful that I was chosen to be their mother and help raise them.
4. My parents - I am grateful that both of my parents are still with me and are so supportive of me and all of our moving. :)
5. My brothers - even thought I don't get to see or speak to them as often as I should or would like I know I always have two people in this world who would do anything for me.
6. My Friends - I have many friends but I only have a few friends that I would call close friends and that know me best. I realize as life goes on how nice it is to have someone who knows you, the good and bad and will be there for you. I want to same something special about those friends.
Joy - You are my best friend and have without a doubt been there for me through everything. I love the fact that we have kept our friendship so close and we can always just pick up where we left off every time we talk.
Tammy - You are without a doubt the friend that I can be my silly self with. When I think of our friendship I only think of all the laughter we have had and all of the "dirty" jokes that seem to come out of our conversations. One day I know we will be back to our evil ways in Knoxville. :)
Patricia - You are my friend with all the advice and Godly wisdom. You and I made it through the trenches together at Nova and formed a bond that really know one else would understand. I look up to you as a sister and appreciate your realness when it comes to God's word. You are never afraid to tell it like it is. I admire that and one day will hopefully have your boldness.
Cara - You are my preggo buddy. You and I went through it all together and I am so thankful I had you around to complain about all the pregnancy woes and know are children woes. You were the very first person who befriended me in Columbia and I am so thankful we hit it off as friends. Even though we don't always see eye to eye on certain things, I love the fact that we can speak what is on our minds and know it will not hurt our friendship. Oh, yeah you are my internet shopping guru. How could I live without you. :)
To all of my friends I love you all and are so grateful to have you in my live.

I am grateful for so many of the things in my life that I couldn't possible list them all but I wanted to list those that were most important to me. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
