I know it is not Thursday and I also know that many regular T13ners will not be posting tomorrow because it is Thanksgiving. But, I wanted to post a list of what I am thankful for today because I have COOKING to do.
Thanksgiving Thursday ThirteenThirteen Things For Which I Am Thankful
1. The love of God. It never ceases to amaze me that the God of the universe cared enough about me to send His only Son to be my salvation. For that, I will be eternally grateful.
2. My husband. God gave me a man who is loving, kind and patient. He loves me in spite of my shortcomings. I am not always easy to love, and yet, he loves me. For that, I am thankful.
3. My children. I was blessed to be the mother of two fine sons. Mind you, neither of my boys were angels when they were growing up but they were good boys. Being a mother has been the joy of my life. I am honored to be their mother.
4. My daughter-in-law. I began praying for my sons' mates when they were children. The young lady our son chose is an answer to that prayer. She is a beautiful, loving, godly young lady and we are so blessed to have her in our family.
5. Wonderful parents. No girl could have asked for more loving parents. They nurtured me and gave me what every child needs.....safety. My dad died in 1998 and I miss him terrible and my mother now has Alzheimer's but she still tells me she loves me and I treasure that.
6. Great friends. I have friends I can laugh with and talk with and cry with. That is such a wonderful thing.
7. A warm home. I have a comfortable bed to lie in at night and a roof over my head. There are many people who do not have these things. I am thankful.
8. Food. I do not have to worry about where my next meal is coming from. I am able to go to the grocery store and buy the food we need. What a wonderful thing.
9. My dog and my cat. You may find this silly but these animals came into my life just when I needed them. Their unconditional love is a true comfort.
10. Family. I am part of a great family, both mine and my husband's. I love them all.
11. Health. Yes, I have had knee replacement, I have arthritis and few other little problems but basically I am healthy. I certainly am in better health than many people. I am thankful.
12. Happiness. I am basically a happy person. I have my ups and downs; happy days and sad days. I have far more than I deserve and nothing to really complain about.
13. All of you who have been kind enough to visit during the more than a year I have been blogging. You have enriched my life and brightened many of my days.
HAVE A GLORIOUS THANKSGIVING!!
