Offering Thanks

Thank you, Lord, for surrounding me with the most self-less people and blessing me with such abounding measures of love. I am undeserving. But, still, I thank you.

Thank for him and our ever-changing, ever-revolving, ever-lasting relationship. Thank you for teaching me patience through him and showing me how to love unconditionally.


Thank you for blessing me with this woman for my one and only sister. She never ceases to amaze me with her astounding graces and wisdom. She is the (and my) ultimate best friend. Not to mention, the most stunning girl ever!


Thank you for the absolute BEST father I could have ever been given. The hardest worker I've known. His kind and gentle demeanor inspires me to be the very best person I can be. (He never ceases to inspire me to open my eyes WIDE when pictures are being taken, as well!) (His eyes are just so small, they always appear to be closed in photos- haha!)


Thank you for the only woman in the world I can call my mother. She is the 'funnest' and funniest gal on the planet. And I appreciate her so. But I love her more.


Thank you for my one and only brother- the one person who can make me laugh at the drop of a hat. Truly, the funniest person I've ever known. I am so thankful for him because at his core, he is so tenderhearted and such a good man and father to his children. He is so special to me. And I hope he knows it.


Thank you for this little person. For someone who is so small, she sure has changed my life in a big way. The person who puts sheer joy in my heart at the slightest doing is my one and only daughter. I thank you for how she has changed me.


And last but not... well, yes she is least, honestly, but thank you for my little vacuum cleaner in the kitchen. Although she can be super annoying sometimes, I don't think there is a sweeter and easier dog to take care of in this world.


My thank you list could go on and on. But these are a few I have reflected on in which I thank the Lord for blessing me with. We are so lucky to be living in America and to be free. I take it for granted far too often. I am glad for a time to stop and reflect in order to stop taking for granted, even if for a few days, hours or moments. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving; one that offers some time of reflection of what you are thankful for in your life. Happy Thanksgiving!
