So Thankful

-
Well I am so tired right now but I just was feeling so thankful and wanted to share it seeings how it is the time of year to really focus and bring our attention to giving thanks. Also, I know I have a busy week to come and may not have a chance to do this. Anyway, I am so glad to be serving God. It just seems easy to be THANKFUL serving the Lord Jesus Christ. He is so good to us. He loves us and has saved us. He has set my feet on a new path in life, the pathway to Heaven. He has shown me truth and filled me with his Spirit. He watches over us, keeps us safe. There are so many things to be thankful for in just knowing God and who he is and what he is, where he is, that he is alive OH...... so many things!!!! Thankful to have a hope beyond this life on earth. Thankful for the freedom to worship and serve God in this awesome country. Oh, THANK YOU JESUS! I just love the Lord and love this life that I live doing my best to serve him with his help. I know people don't always understand why we choose to live our lives the way we do, but oh if they could understand it is out of love, submission and thankfulness to God. It truly is wonderful! We truly are FREE, for God has set us FREE from the bonds of sin. Oh, I'm just so thankful. Now, I'm thankful for my family. Wonderful husband and children. Some think were crazy for having four children, but oh I'm thankful for the JOY that comes from my children. For we are to be like little children before the Lord and how all my children can help remind me of that. A child like faith so to speak! I feel like I'm rambling but as I said in the beginning I'm just feeling so thankful and so much has gone through my mind. I'm thankful for parents who put a fear of God in me as a child, which I believe is what led me to the altar as I was older. Thankful for the morals they taught me, always puting there children first and trying to provide as many of our wants as possible. Thankful for my Father and Mother in law, they are genuine kind, loving, giving people and I'm glad to have them as part of my life. Oh the list could go on forever, but most of you probably wont make it to the end of this post for it being so lengthy so I will stop typing but my mind still dwells on being ever so thankful. Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving and a special time of thankfulness. I have not told my husband but I think were gonna play some tpye of thankful game from the time we leave Wednesday till our way home on Monday. Just bring it up out of the blue here and there and someone say what they are thankful for and just try to talk about many things we are all thankful for as a family. I'm sure the kids will get in on it too! Okay goodnight!
