Giving Thanks

On this Thanksgiving Day, I take time to reflect on the things in my life that I am thankful for.

For my husband, Phil, who has brought so much joy to my life;

For my beautiful daughters, Sarah, Emily, and Katie Grace, who give me such a great purpose in my life;

For my cat, Bella, who loves me and keeps my feet warm at night;

For the clothes on my back, the food in my belly, and the warm house I live in;

For my best friends, Ann and Michelle, who are the sisters my parents never gave me;

For my parents who are always there to help me out, and who believe in me;

For my church which gives me such a welcoming family to worship with;

For my good health, and the good health of my family;

For my friends, my family, and my good neighbors, who each enrich my life in their own special ways;

Thank you, Jesus, for all of these blessings, and for all of the wonderful blessings you still have in store for me. Amen.
