thankful....

My pastor created a challenge for us to think of something/someone everyday the month of November leading up to Thanksgiving that we are thankful for, so here is my list (i only expanded on a few): 

1. Family.   

What would I do without all the amazing people in my family?!  At Thanksgiving dinner with the family, I just sat in my grandma's rocking chair holding my sleeping nephew and looking around the room at my family and I got goosebumps thinking how much I love them. 

2. Friends

My friends mean the world to me.  I rejoice in the differences between my friends and I.  

The differences allow me to grow as a person.  I love each and every one of you!

3. Faith in God

Faith is the strength that holds the bond of my relationship with God.  

God shows me daily how much he loves his children.
