Giving Thanks


I am thankful this year for my family every one of them, whether near or far. I am thankful for my daughters who check on me always and worry about us and think of us daily, thank you Jennifer, Sarah & Tina! I love yall! I am thankful for my son in laws for taking good care of my daughters and my grandchildren, and for caring about this old mother in law! I am thankful for Jake too he isn't a son in law but a son and he is a great daddy to 3 more of my grandchildren and we have really gotten closer in understanding each other and I am so very grateful for that! I am grateful to have good sons, who have grown up into incredible men and loving, caring fathers. I am thankful they married their soul mates and those soul mates and that they are wonderful mothers to my grandchildren. I am thankful for my beautiful grandchildren each and every one of them! I love them dearly they are the reward for raising children and all the hard work that is, the reward far outweighs the time and effort and work put into that very important job!
I am thankful for my siblings those which I was blessed to be born into the same family and those I got as a bonus when I married Chad! I am especially grateful to Jim and Barb for all they do for us! I am thankful for all of my very dear and loving friends, those I grew up with and those I have met along the way. I am thankful for the connection we all share, many really feel like my family and I love you all dearly.
I am thankful for a mother who raised me to be self reliant and be a problem solver, but I am most grateful for a Father in Heaven who actually solves all my problems, even when I don't know what my next step should be and especially when I do not understand or have a clue what to do and he guides me with inspiration and helps me continue to hope, without him I would be absolutely nothing.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and realizes what a wonderful blessing we have in this life no matter what our lot in life.
