the one about being thankful

I realized yesterday, and just now, that I have soooooo much to be thankful for, even in this time of complete chaos in my life.

I am thankful for my husband. He is my life, my support, and my love. He takes care of me.

I am thankful for my parents. They are also my support, and some of my best friends. They want only the best for me. They pray for me.

I am thankful for my close friends. They make me smile when I'm having a bad day. They pray for me. They push me to be my best. They give great advice (and may not even know it) ;)

I am thankful for my other parents (in-laws). They not only love me, but they like me. They support us. They pray for us.

I am thankful to have an education.

I am thankful that I have a place to live. It's warm and homey.

I am thankful to have food in my fridge and pantry. Food is important for survival.

I am thankful to have a church that I love to go to.

Most of all, I am thankful for CHRIST! Without him, I would be nothing. He is my hope and my salvation.

Despite all the "bad" things that have happened, or are happening in my life, I know I have it better than most people in this world. I am uneasy about the future, but I know God has the perfect plan. When I mess up and try to control my own life, I know he will be there to pick up the pieces when I fail. He's just great like that. This I am also thankful for!
