As our Thanksgiving holiday has come to an end, I find myself with such a thankful heart this year. The past 3 years have definitely been a growing experience for me. This Thanksgiving I have realized those past 3 years have taught me so much. So I have so much to be thankful for...
The most important is that God loves us no matter how lost we get or how far we run from him. In the past couple of years I thought I was close to God but found that I wasn't in church nor was I even praying, trusting, confiding, or reading His word. I realized not long ago that I was just completely lost. It's funny how God works, one situation can bring you back to Him. So I am completely Thankful for His unfailing love and forgivingness.
Next I am thankful for a wonderful family. God definitely knew what He was doing when He gave me the family He did. I have the greatest parents I could ever ask for. I have a son that has my heart wrapped more than once. I am blessed beyond measure for him to call me " Mommy!" I am certainly thankful for a second chance with the love of my life, Lee. God has bigger and better things for us and isn't finished with US yet! I am gratefully that we have been given another chance. We learned not to give up and to work through everything. Blessed to him in my life. Much love for my family.
God not only blessed me with a "blood" family but I have a second family that I love just as much as much as my biological family. The Barron family has been such a blessing to me for years now. Since 2004 I have had a second set of parents (ma & pa). Pa went to be with God our savior in August of this year. I also in 2004 adopted 2 brothers! We have fun confusing people with that one. Haha... Now my second family has grown as both my "brothers" have married. They both have a child of their own now. I thank God for my second family!
I wake up every morning ready to head to my job. Most people wake up dreading it. But I don't. Why? Well, that's easy... I love my job. I have been blessed with one of the greatest jobs in the world. More importantly is the small group of people I work with. They truly are like family too! Guess I have a huge extended family. :) I started my job when I was in one of the roughest places in my life and the family at SBR accepted with arms wide open and supported me through everything! For that I am truly thankful. I can't express how thankful I am to have the job and co-workers.
I guess I could go on and on about things or people I am thankful for. But it would take a long time. So, let me end this way I have a very thankful heart tonight for many reasons. I hope that as you're Thanksgiving holiday comes to end you also have a very thankful heart. I hope that you realize some new things/ people to be thankful for.
