Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!
It's not about the turkey, the parade, or football...it's about looking back at all you have and remembering to thank the Lord for it all.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.-James 1:17
I want to just tell what I am thankful for this year...
My family
- my daddy...love him so much! He has worked hard for us always. I am thankful I have a daddy who is saved, and called to preach! thankful for all the times he has fixed my car. thankful for a great talk we had a few weeks ago. i am glad he cares about me and my moma and brothers and sister.
- my moma, she is my best friend and I am so thankful I have a real mom. Just because you have children doesn't mean you are a mom...a mom is someone who bends over backwards to please her family. mine is a true mother! My moma has sacrificed so much for us! I never realized how much until this past mothers day. She stayed at home (and still does) to take care and raise us. I can recall many nights her and my daddy stayed up with me when I was afraid to sleep. She took care of us when we were sick. I am very thankful for the bond we have. thankful for all her and my daddy have done for me in my life. thankful they have both taught of about Jesus! <3
- Josh and Caleb- so thankful for my little brothers, josh is, my "twin" lol. thankful for all the memories we got to share growing up. thankful for all the times I got to watch them play baseball and basketball!
- Manda, thankful for my little roommate! She has grown up so fast. i sure love her and her dramatic self!! thankful God gave me that little sister I longed to have as a little girl. Life sure would be boring without her in our family ;)
- Tobi- He is our faithful little dog! We got him when I was in 6th grade. He has grown up with us and I am so happy God gave us such a sweet dog. We got him from the pound...I got to name him. I remember the day we went and when I first saw him, i knew he was the one <3 He ran off a few years ago and we searched and searched for him eveywhere but never found him. One friday afternoon when Josh and I got off the bus, moma n daddy weren't home so we had to stay in the yard. I went to the end of the yard and knelt down in prayer and prayed that God would bring Tobi home...a few minutes later the van pulled in the driveway and guess who leaped out of the van door...Tobi!!! He had gotten caught in a dog trap and was supposed to be put to sleep just 3 days later (on monday). I thank the Lord he saved him from being put to sleep and brought him back to our family. It's amazing how much a little animal can mean so much!
- Home- thankful for the house I have grown up in. It might not be the most fanciest or newest but I love it and am thankful for all the memories I have here! I get to live with my favorite people :))

Especially miss my great grandma louise right now! It has been over 2 and a half yrs since she died. we always spent thankgiving with her in NC. Oh how i wish I could see her and have a piece of her homemade cheesecake she made every yr!!
- My savior--> thankful most of all for him! So thankful he died for me so i could live.
