People for which I am thankful
1. My parents. My parents have been married to each other for almost 48 years. They provided me with a fun, stable, and happy childhood, and modeled for me how to have a happy, successful marriage. They are fun, funny, hard working, persevering, and a great team. My parents are the best parents are in the world. And they are even better at being grandparents than they are at being parents!
2. My brother. My dad is in a wheelchair and my mother had back surgery 3 months ago. My brother, David, dropped everything and moved in with them to help take care of them. He is kind, patient, caring and compassionate. And he is a great uncle. And he is a computer genius and a Farmville tycoon.
3. My husband. Bill puts up with a lot from me. And I do mean A LOT! He works hard and takes very good care of us. Even though he works long hours he still pitches in and does more than his fair share of the house work. He keeps me grounded when I'm coming unhinged. He is my buffer between me and the world. He is the bestest, greatest man I have ever known.
4. My children. I have got 5 great kids. I have found out that the terrible twos are more like the terrific twos and that teenagers can be a great pleasure to be around. My children have cause me to stretch and grow in ways that I didn't imagine possible. I love nothing more than to just hang out with them.
5. My small group- And this includes you, Christy. These 3 ladies have seen me through thick and thin. We have celebrated together, we have cried together. I trust them with my deepest, darkest secrerts and they love me in spite of it :). They've got my back, and I can count on them for anything.
6. God. God takes care of me. He lets me roam away and gently pulls me back. He listens when I rant and rave, when I rail and cry. He listens to me even when I don't listen to Him. He is my rock and the guiding force in my life. He has blessed me abundantly.
I have so much to be thankful for. I am richly blessed.
Happy Thanksgiving!
