Thankful

I'm finding it hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a week away. I'm not exactly sure where 2010 went, but I do know it was a busy year and it's silly for me to think that somehow I could remember (or cherish) most of the days. Sometimes, we live life in the fast lane. It's just kind of how it works. But, now that I'm just 12 days (at the most!) away from meeting my third child - life has slowed down and I have some time for reflection. It's long overdue, and I really wish I would have allowed myself some downtime this year to do it more often...but live and learn, right?

It's 1:30am and I was suddenly hit with the urge to sit and write about some of the things I'm thankful for. In no particular order of importance or priority - just the things on my brain that I'm feeling extra grateful to God for. Ready?

1. My husband - for his hard work, love, commitment, and dedication to our family.

2. My kids - for their constant energy, passion, excitement, and continually reminding me that this is not about me.

3. A healthy and enjoyable pregnancy - being gifted the ability to nurture a growing life inside of my body. What an honor God has given me!

4. My family - for helping Trei and I as we've navigated through this year. For the free babysitting, listening ears, and wonderful advice. We are so blessed.

5. My thriving business.

6. Trei's job and our health insurance.

7. A roof over our heads, food in our tummies, security and even some extras!

8. Our health and well-being.

9. Living so close to the beach.

10. My friends - who keep me sane, help me grow, and always laughing.

11. My new van!

12. Pedicures.

13. Our wonderful church.

14. My future.

15. That I serve an amazing God who has NEVER let me down. He is good, and the sole reason I have so many reasons to be thankful.
