Thankful Heart



I have so much to be thankful for, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and joy!

I am eternally thankful for my relationship with Jesus. He has not only saved me from my sins but has freed me from them and has filled me with joy!

I am extremely blessed with an amazing, loving, fun, wonderful family!

My parents are loving, generous, encouraging, always there when I need them.

My sister is one of my best friends. She is thoughtful, kind, fun, a great listener and a joy to be around.

My brother-in-law is the brother I have always wanted! He is a lot of fun, he is kind and helpful!

My niece K has grown into a beautiful young lady. I can't believe she is 10 years old already! She is loving, fun, kind. She has a sweet and tender heart. She is an amazing volleyball player. I love her SO much!

My nephew R is a bundle of fun! He makes me laugh and I love to watch him love life! He is adventurous. He is a great brother and friend!

My nephew D brings me great joy! He is a bundle of energy and a lot of fun! When he gives me a hug, there is SO much love that comes with it. Long after the hug is over I can still feel the love.

I am thankful for each and every one of my friends! I know I can count on my friends for support, encouragement, prayer, laughs, fun, joy, and whatever I need in the moment.

I am thankful for all God has done in my life. I am thankful for the good times and all the many blessings as well as the hard times, the difficult times, the challenges and struggles that have stretched me and my faith.

I am thankful for my home and for my wonderful roomie, Diane! I am blessed to live with one of my best friends and right next door to another one of my best friends. I am thankful for the roof over my head, the food I have to eat and everything else God has given me that I need to live and for everything "extra" that He gives me.

I am thankful for my job...for the wonderful staff I work with, for the students I teach and their families.

I could write more of all I have been blessed with and I want to continue to remember all of my blessings each and every day. I want to live a life of gratitude, not just a season.

What are you thankful for?
