Things I'm Thankful For

Since today is the day before Thanksgiving, I thought I would give you a list of the things I am thankful for. Of course, this list is not exhaustive, but I think you'll get the idea.

• My salvation. It's hard to believe that God chose me (why me?) before time began without my having done anything to deserve it.
• My wonderful husband. No, John isn't perfect, but God designed him for me, and I cannot imagine life without him.
• My sweet children. Sarah Beth, Daniel, and Rachel are amazing gifts from God, and I cannot thank Him enough for them.
• This great country that we live in. Even though there are many things wrong with our country, and I truly believe that we're headed in the wrong direction, it is still the best place on earth to live.
• My extended family who love and support my immediate family and me.

Then there are the myriad of the little things for which I am extremely grateful, but also which I take for granted: hot water, a dishwasher, a washer and dryer, plenty of clothes, etc.; you get the gist!

What are you thankful for today?
