Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a day to be thankful and to count your blessings, so I am going to do just that.

Thank you God for:

• Thanksgiving at home with my family. Last year I was overseas in England, which was wonderful and I am so thankful for the day we had with them, but it is great to be home and have a day with my family.
• Deep fried turkey that is being delivered!
• That we have way more food that we will ever need.
• A home, warm clothes, a car, more material possessions than I know what to do with.
• My brother being ridiculously smart and doing well on the ACT so college is practically paid for.
• Friends. Good talks, sharing, memories, and lots of fun. 
• The beautiful lilies that Kenny sent me.  Two more buds opened up today. 
• Answered prayer.
• Sending me the man that I love and thank you that he loves me more than I know.

Each year has its ups and downs but there is always still so much to be thankful for....

So I decided that I need to start counting my blessings more. And so I'm creating this blog to help me list them and be able to look back and recount all the ways that God has blessed me. Please feel free to comment with ways that God has blessed you or just take the time to think about it yourself.

Thank you God for:

• A visit to Searcy to see my friends
• Safe travel/a new car that actually runs
• Laughing so hard my body hurts
• Time to enjoy the sunshine
• Giving me the words to say when I am speechless
• Teaching me new ways to show love
