Thankful!

I want to take some time to say what I thank God for everyday. I have been blessed beyond measure by God for some reason. I don't really see what he sees in me, but I'm glad I've caught his eye. I kind of feel like I'm walking around with a super power behind me. Not that I don't have problems or am invincible, but because he brings me through everything.



Recently I had some concerns that were weighing on me and I was actually visited by my deceased Father in my dreams from heaven. Of all my dreams of him that I remember, he is always visiting me and never just in a random dream. He gave me some valuable advise and I just felt like God allowed me to hear Him through my Dad. I was so excited that I woke myself up and was trying to go back to sleep so I could see him again. He was so beautiful in my dream and he was tickled to see me too. What a gift!?



First I am thankful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Son of God, and his blessed Holy Spirit which resides in me daily. Without him, I would have absolutely nothing. I am thankful for my husband who loves me without end. He is my rock in all my craziness and he puts up with me which is no small task. He is organized and I'm not, he is thrifty (i'm being kind:-)) and I'm not, he is private and I'm not. I was watching Joyce Meyer once and she spoke a word that hit the spot for me. God gives us what we need for often the pair is better than the individuals. I think that is true for us. We balance each other.



I am thankful for my gorgeous, smart, sweet, and funny girls. They are my world and brighten my world. They teach me everyday and make me a better person. I am thankful for my Mom. She would do anything for me and she's my best friend ever. Thanks for being the only one that probably reads this, but since you love it, that's enough for me. She's always been my biggest fan. I'm thankful for all my family and friends. I've been so blessed by them.



I'm also thankful for our jobs, health, food, and my time spent with family and friends. I would have nothing without God's grace and blessings. I am also thankful for the opportunity to live in the greatest country ever.



All glory to God and peace to his people on earth. I look forward to a wonderful Christmas season. God bless you all!!
