Thanksgiving 2010

I am grateful for my God, for the mercy He bestows, for the grace He pours, for the blessings He showers down, and the lessons He teaches me along the way.

I am honored to be Matt's wife. I am blessed to have his love, to have his protection, his support, and his friendship. I am grateful for his hard work.

I am so thankful for my wonderful children, for the ability to stay home with them and watch them grow everyday. I am grateful for their hugs and kisses, their games and silly faces. I am thankful for being their teacher. I am humbled to be their mother.

I am grateful for my extended family, for Mom and Bob, for Dawn and Don, for Tamara, David, Meredith, Steven, Dad and Lynn. I am thankful for the support emotionally, physically, and even financially at times. I am grateful for the chance to spend time with them and to share my children's lives with them.

I am thankful for friendship, for the late night phone calls, the girls night outs, the Facebook status updates :), the advice, and the love. I am grateful to be myself and still have friends.

I am beyond blessed to have the life that I have. I am highly favored. I would like to show my gratitude by giving God all the credit for everything you see. He did this for me! Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me praise His holy name!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
