A Time for Thanks.....

Good Evening,

Now we are approaching a time for us to review our lives and give thanks. Another year of life has nearly passed and right now...if you are reading this, you have been blessed to be here...blessed to see it. So in this post, let us take time out of our busy lives and give thanks for the things that we have been blessed to have this year. At the same time, let us remember those who are not so fortunate as we are.

These are just a few of the things that I am thankful for:

1) First and Foremost I am thankful for the gift of salvation and forgiveness that was granted to
me, through the death, burial and Resurrection of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

2) I am thankful for the lives of lost loved ones. I am thankful for the lessons that their lives
taught me and others who were privileged to know them, to have been a part of their lives.
For having been blessed and fortunate enough to have had them in mine.

3) I am thankful for my children who are still with me. I am grateful for their unconditional
love...for their spirit of love and support and survival. I am grateful for everyday that God
grants me with them.

4) I am thankful for two WONDERFUL parents and two AWESOME God-Parents! The wisdom
that I get from them is incomparable. I am thankful that even though we have been through
alot this year, we have overcome! We have drawn closer and wiser from the experiences.

5) I am thankful for my best friend, C.J., Even though we live hundreds of miles apart, there have been so many days that I know I could not have gotten through without you. You have been a strength to me that I have desperately needed...and for that...I love you!

6) I am thankful for a place to live, a car to drive, a means to eat, ALL of the basics necessities
of life that we all to often take for granted.

There are MANY more things that I am thankful to have (Like you!) and I am sure that throughout the rest of my life, I will have many more things to be thankful for.

In essence, I can honestly say, I am just thankful to be wise enough to KNOW that I have much to be thankful for! What about you?
