Happy Thanksgiving!

David & I were talking this evening about how we have SO MUCH to be thankful for. He has talked to several people in the past few days who have nowhere to go, no one to be with, nothing to do on Thursday. We're so blessed to have multiple places we're welcome at on Thanksgiving day.

I thought I'd make a list of things I'm thankful for these days (in no particular order...):
  • my relationship with Jesus Christ
  • eternal life in heaven
  • David
  • family
  • friends
  • a house
  • a car that runs & is in fairly good shape
  • money in the bank
  • decreasing amounts of debt (this is a lot better than increasing!!!!!!!)
  • a wonderful church to worship at & meet fellow believers
  • a job
  • places to belong
  • scrapbooks
  • photo albums
  • memories
  • our piano
  • the knowledge of how to diet & exercise to lose weight
  • self-confidence
  • books to read to improve myself and our marriage
  • a library card (even though i shouldn't use it anymore cuz i don't live in marion county anymore...)
  • an education
  • my cell phone
  • my computer
  • my blog
  • Real Simple magazines
  • pumpkin pie
  • our hammock
  • our bonfires
  • snow (we had some here on sunday!!!)
  • all 4 seasons - i decided sunday night as we sat in starbucks playing checkers and drinking coffee looking at the huge snow flakes coming down outside that I LOVE WINTER!!!
  • warm drinks - hot spiced cider, cocoa, cappucino, etc, etc. ( i have a new passion!!!!!!!!!!!)
