We are having a great day over here- a day filled with family, food and fun. I always love having both sides of our families together; It is special to be able to share a holiday with the people we love.
I thought I'd take a few minutes to share some of the things I'm thankful for.
- David, who is such a wonderful husband for me
- Kayla, who is the most adorable child I could have ever dreamed of
- my mom and dad, who I consider two of my best friends
- my in-laws, who make me feel like I've always been part of their family and who I love dearly
- all of our extended family
- good friends
- good neighbors
- a church and small group that help us grow in our knowledge of God and help us live in community
- our house and our cars
- David's job
- health and dental insurance
- our cats
- good health
... to name a few
I realize how blessed I am, how blessed we are. I also realize that I probably take a lot for granted, although I try to be aware of what I have. Sometimes it scares me that I am so blessed.... like I'm waiting for something horrible to happen. I mean, right now my life is really easy. Not that it's always easy, there are daily frustrations and issues I have. But in the general scheme of life, my life is easy. I don't have to worry about where my next meal is going to come from, I don't have to worry if my electricity is going to be turned off or if I won't be able to heat my house this winter. But these "securities" could be taken away in an instant. Something could happen to David, to his job, to Kayla, to our house, to our family, to a friend... and suddenly my life would be turned upside down. Sometimes I find myself worrying too much about these types of things. But it comes down to the issue that I believe in God and while I certainly don't want something horrible to happen, I know He would be there to comfort me if it did and that His grace would be sufficient.
I pray that you also had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you have time to think of some of your blessings.
