I AM THANKFUL

Today I really want to focus on all the blessing the Lord has given to me. It helps me to not moan about the things that may not be going like I would like them to.

I am thankful for my husband. Yesterday I was having leg problems and he brought me tylenol and a heating pad and drink and was so attentive. I am so thankful that he cares for me. He is a man who loves the Lord, his family, and his people.

I am thankful for my 3 daughters. I surely love all those girls. They are each unique and gifted - great wives and mothers(Jess almost a mother). They haven't had the perfect mother, that's a fact, but God has certainly blessed all these daughters with His blessings and given them all they need to live for Him.

I am thankful for my church. I am so thankful that the Lord has allowed us to be there for almost 20 years. That is such a blessing. What precious people worship there every Sunday.

I am thankful for friendships. We all need them and the Lord has given me wonderful prayer partners and friends.

I am thankful for my Sunday School class. I love those ladies. They bless my heart and allow me to be their teacher. They help me grow in Christ.

I am thankful to teach K-5 kids. They keep me young.

I am so thankful, last but oh not least, for my grandchildren. They are such a blessing from the Lord. Their warm hugs, when they say, "MIMI", the fact they seem to like to come and see me...They bring joy to my heart. The Lord has certainly blessed us with each precious one from the oldest to the one on his way.

Most of all, I am thankful that a young girl knew she desperately needed a Saviour and for my need, I found one. It is no telling where I would be had Jesus not saved me. None of the blessings that I listed would have been mine without a Saviour. I still need that Saviour today.
For all of these blessings and more....I AM THANKFUL!!
