Thankful

While this post is a few days late, I just wanted to take a moment to list some of the things I'm thankful for .... especially as I reflect on the last year. We truly have so much to be thankful for, even with this economy and all the stuff going on in this world.

I'm thankful for....

... a loving, gracious, compassionate, patient, merciful God.
.... my wonderful husband. Sometimes I just can't believe how blessed I am to be married to such a kind, thoughtful, loving, caring, talented man. (I love you hunny! :) )
... an amazing family.
... a roof over my head, for a vehicle, for so many things I take for granted every single day.
... pets ... for our little Buddy and for Fluffy too ... who I still miss.
... variety, that no day is like another.
... new friendships and precious old ones too.
... a church family.
... new life. For all the precious little one's who have come into this world in the past year!
...our beautiful family from Burma and for my Sudanese friends the Aowidiek family - Abel, Monica, Emmanual and Rhoda and a little one on the way, who are so beautiful and remind me what it truly means to be filled with Christ. I have been so blessed by both of these refugee families.
... the gift of photography and what this year has brought... and excited with the possibility of what else might be!

May you be blessed this holiday season and take a moment to thank God for all the blessings in your life!
