Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a few days away. My mother wrote in her blog about being thankful and I though I would do the same.

I am very thankful for my family. I have a large extended family and they are very important to me. I love my husband of 12 years. My children are the light of my life. My mother is my best friend and I am very thankful for that.

I am thankful that we live in a country with so many freedoms and there are people willing to fight to secure those freedoms for others. However, I am not thankful the war has gone on this long.

I am thankful for the sunshine this morning and the blessings that God has given me in this life as well as the promise of an eternity in heaven.
