So much to be thankful for....

Yesterday, in my Bible study, the book I'm reading suggested that I start listing the things for which I'm thankful. So, I decided to blog them here, so that I would never forget what I wrote!!! a godly husband who loves me unconditionally; a son who is the energy of my days and light of my life; my Savior who gave His life for me; parents who raised me in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord"; a brother who, even though miles apart, cares for me deeply; a sister in law who serves as a wonderful example of motherhood - i love her!; my best friend and her family - a joy to be around and such wonderful support when days are hard; my church family - I have the best!!; my UACCH girls! I love them and miss them more than they know; for my inlaws, Bob, Nancy, Menea, Jose, Robert, and Fabie; a wonderful job that challenges me; Christian bosses - Ron, Maggie, and Dr. C a secure home; for my ability to think; a counselor/friend who turned the lights on for me in several areas 2 years ago; for my senses - eyes to see (even though I am extremely nearsighted), ears to hear, taste, touch, and smell; contact lenses!; for reliable transportation; coffee - i LOVE my morning cup of java!; food and a love for cooking; heat when it is cold and cool air when the days are hot; the ability to walk and run; nature - i love the outdoors; modern appliances - they make my days so much easier; social media - how would I stay in touch with those I seldom see face to face; my grandparents who await me in heaven; the Bible - light for each step I'm on; leadership of the Holy Spirit for every move I make; Sidney - my sweet baby in heaven - thank you for giving me the gift of childbirth; unspeakable joy; sunrises and sunsets; clothes to cover this imperfect body; Will's school - love Lake Hamilton; technology - keeps me organized; peace - even when life gets crazy; wonderful local physicians; the ability to read; education and the opportunity to learn; fun - life is FUN! I could go on and on....
