In honor of Thanksgiving, here is our Top 10 countdown of things I am thankful for.
10. A country where I am free to speak my mind and practice my religion and especially for the people who sacrifice their own lives and families to preserve those freedoms.
9. Our home - it shelters us and keeps us warm, it is the place where we make memories and celebrate traditions and while it may not "keep up with the Joneses" our 1950s farm house has all the charm and character we wanted in a home.
8. My job and my work family - I get to do work I enjoy and help people in the process. I share my days with people who are passionate about our community and always give 110 percent.
7. My church and my church family - The freedom to worship and amazing people to share it with.
6. My health - Even with its imperfections, I'm thankful for each day the Lord grants me.
5. My family of friends - People who share my interests and beliefs and have become my family when I could not be near mine.
4. My extended family - They may not be close geographically but they are always in my heart.
3. My daughters and the opportunity to be a mother - My girls bring me incredible joy and remind me of what is truly important. I love laughing with them, snuggling them and watching them grow.
2. My hubby and our marriage - 15 years of life as husband and wife, almost 18 together and I love him more every day.
1. My Lord and Saviour who sacrificed his life for me and forgives me despite my own stupidity.
Happy Thanksgiving.
