Thankful

November seemed to sneak up on me this year.  In year's past, I have taken the month of November to reflect on the things that I'm thankful for and normally make a list, with one thing each day.  One year, I even did an entire year of things I'm thankful for.  It was awesome.  Writing down something I'm thankful for each day really makes me realize how awesome my life is.

As you can tell, I haven't done any November posts yet as things have been really busy around here with the Little One.  So, I'm going to cheat a bit and do the first 3 now and then, hopefully, I'll be able to write one each day for the rest of the month.

1.  First and absolutely above all else, I am thankful to Jesus.  I am so appreciative of all that He did for me.  And, to know that He would have done it had I been the only person on earth makes it that much more special.  I am thankful that I will be able to spend eternity with Him and know that what He did on the Cross is not only for eternity, but for the here and now.  He came so that I might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).  So, I am thankful to Jesus for my salvation as well as my abundant life.

2.  I am thankful for my husband.  God gave me the perfect man for me.  I'm so thankful that he married me.  That he chose me to live this life with.  I'm so thankful that God answered my prayer with him.

3.  I am thankful for my parents.  They have been there for me through thick and thin.  I am thankful for the way that they raised me and the time that they spent with me.  I appreciate the fact that their kids were a priority to them (and still are, along with their grandkids).  I love them both!
