Thanksgiving is upon us
It's that time of year again so here goes my 30 reasons for thanks.
1. Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and saviour. Doesn't get any better than that!
2. I was lucky enough to be born in a 1st world country.
3. I have the most wonderful husband. No doubt God placed us together for a reason.
4. My kids are so amazing, and I am truly blessed to have them.
5. My family is for the most part healthy. I do not have to spend time worrying over any one's health anymore.
6. God provides a great job for my husband so that I am able to stay home and raise/teach the children.
7. We might not be rich, but we are blessed to have the money for all the essentials as well as some wonderful 'extras'.
8. Our church is an incredible Bible teaching church that I have learned so much from.
9. My homeschooling community is just such a wonderful part of our lives now, and I am very grateful for it.
10. My parents have always been there for me, and have been supportive of my family.
11. My siblings may not live close, but no doubt if I call one of them they will drop what they are doing to help me through anything I am going through.
12. I am thankful that I have an excellent public library to go to (and I often do) that I can find just about anything I am looking for in.
13. I have great resources through the city I live in. That has been one of the most amazing parts of living here.
14. I have a nice home to live in, and vehicles in the drive way.
15. In my pursuit to teach my children I have been able to buy all the things I find essential to their learning.
16. I am grateful for my countries military, and their families.
17. I do not have drama in my life.
18. I am not incredibly intelligent, but God has given me the ability to know where to look for answers.
19. Jesus is returning.
20. Things like electricity, and running water in which we take for granted every day.
21. My church family has been such a blessing to us. They have truly been our 'family' here.
22. I am thankful for all the workers out there that are giving their all for the Kingdom of Christ.
23. My ability to organize because without it my family would not get to do half the things we do now.
24. My husbands great talent for making me laugh. Laughter really is the best medicine for all things.
25. The fact that one of my biggest problems in life is that I have to much to eat...
26. Optimism. I believe that positivity is a huge part of a persons happiness.
27. Those little moments when my children do things that make me just fall in love with them even more.
28. Thrift stores, and good sales. Without them some of our luxuries in life that tend to get pricey like the kids sports, and things would not be possible.
29. Social media. Though I think it has been a major set back in some ways of life it has really helped me personally to stay in touch with family and friends since I have moved away from my home town.
30. Adrienne Miller the woman that gave me the most wonderful gift in the world. The belief in Jesus Christ. She does not know that she even gave me that awesome gift, and if I could find her I would surely let her know. Not only did she help win my soul for God, but my entire family through me also. I will forever be in her debt.
