Thanksgiving Time

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.

Psalm 100:4

Thanksgiving; a time to be grateful, thankful, and a time to count your blessings, right? All too often, I believe we forget to thank the whole reason we have those blessings and  reasons to be thankful. So, here's what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful that I have a GOD who loves me always, who's with me all the time, who provides for me, and who has given me LIFE. I'm thankful that He sent His son to sacrafice himself for US so we don't have to. There's so much more that He does for us on a daily basis that words probably can't even express how awesome He is!

I'm thankful for my family. My God-given family. For my husband who leads this family in the best way he knows how. Matt lives for his girls, works hard for us, and loves us, and for that I'm very grateful. I'm thankful for my two little blessings, Jaelyn and Finlee. Life wouldn't be the same without them. They always have a smile ready to greet you in the morning, whether you're ready for it or not. I'm thankful that God would allow me to raise His children and to teach them to follow Him. I'm thankful for my parents, my grandparents, my brothers, my sisters, and grateful that I can share my life with them.

I'm thankful for my friends. I'm blessed with a few great friends and I love the memories we share. I'm thankful that I can live life with them, face challenges with them, and have fun with them.

I'm thankful for the roof over my head, the food on my table, and the clothes that I have. SO many people don't realize the smallest things that we all take for granted so this year, I am very thankful the the "little things in life".

This doesn't even come close to everything that I have to be thankful for but it's a good example. I am very blessed and spoiled by Him and I hope after you read this, you too can count your blessings this Thanksgiving!

Tanna
