Happy BE THANKFUL Day!

Tonight: Put up the Christmas Tree while we watch Christmas movies!!!

Tomorrow: Breakfast with the family... the Macy's T-day Parade... Cooking and Baking... Giant feast... Football... Leftovers... A movie... Finish up Christmas decor...

I am SO ready!

I am so thankful for...

My Savior. Without him my life would hold no meaning, no joy, no hope and no peace.
My husband.
My Malakai Austin.
My family.
My in-laws.
My friends. New and old.
My job... and my church. One in the same.
Me and my family's health.
My wedding ring.
My house.
My car.
My bed.
My clothes.
Food to eat tomorrow, and the next day and the next day and the next.... which MOST of the world will not have tomorrow... or any day after that.
Clean water... which MOST of the world does not have.
Access to medical help... which MOST of the world does not have.
Shoes... which MOST of the world do not own.

Yes, MOST.

Be Thankful for the small things... and thankfulness for the big things will fall right into place.

If you feel like you have nothing or very little to be thankful for, here's some help....

If you own a computer or even simply have access to one (which reading this blog means that you do) you are in the richest 10% of the world.

How can I even begin to express my thankfulness for my life? All I can hope is that my life somehow brings glory to the one who brings me such a fulfilled life and such incredible blessings day after day...

Happy Thanksgiving you guys!

...or Y'ALL!
(in honor of my Texas roots)
