What am I Thankful for?

I am thankful for many things:

• I am thankful for Gaberiel Riley, who in his short 16 months of life, reminded me how precious our children our and that they are a gift from God, and to not take them or our lives for granted. THANK YOU GABERIEL


• I am thankful for the wonderful support group I have. Without them I would be legally insane :P They have helped me through my many ups and downs, and continue to be a blessing in my life, which overflows into the lives of my family.


• I am thankful for being humbled, by my friend Kyle Reynolds and the team that went to Ethiopia. They too have taught me to be content and thankful for what I have and where I'm at. Regardless of my trials and tribulations, I still need to thank God for placing these things in front of me, only to draw me closer to Him.


• I am thankful that I live in a country that allows me to be free.


• I am thankful for my family, near and far. As hard as it has been to be a Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Auntie, Cousin, Niece, Friend, Child of God. I am so very blessed and thankful for my wonderful children, who continue to teach me on a daily basis. And I am very grateful for my Husband. He has stuck with me during my times of selfishness and crabbiness. He has placed me so high up, and treated me like a princes that I do not deserve.


• Mostly I am thankful for my growing relationship with Jesus. Without Him, I would not be where I am today, and not ministering to my special group of Jr highers, everyday people. I am thankful for God's word. No matter how many times I hear or read the scripture, there is always that something that stands out to me. Thank you Jesus for my life.

There is so much more that I am thankful for, but this is just a short condensed version of my many things to be Thankful for.You may not be celebrating this holiday and that is OK, it doesn't necessarily have to be a holiday or a celebration for us to show our thankfulness. But lets try and remember each and every morning when we wake and start our day in prayer and whenever it is that you get the chance to dive into the word of God. End and start your day by giving thanks to our God for everything. Weather it be big or small, bad or good. Be thankful for all that God has given us, and make sure you give up everything that may be consuming you and interfering with your relationships.

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR TODAY?

Love you all, and hope you all have a blessed holiday season.
