We have had one of those weekends that is suppose to be relaxing, but ends up you need a weekend to rest from the weekend. Danny was leading a Strong Bonds event at Myrtle Beach. (I don't see the reason of being at the beach in the winter unless, I guess, you want to avoid seeing anyone in a bathing suit.) We spent the weekend pouring into marriages and families. While it is a wonderful event I miss my kiddos (who end up in childcare) and my sleep (we all shared a one room hotel). So, I am very thankful for . . .
#11 - God's Provision
I am thankful for the roof over my head, the food in my kitchen, and the ability to be able to stay home as a full-time mommy.
#12 - My Church Family
Even though we are far away I am thankful that church family is always family. Whether they are from our childhood churches or from those we have been a part of as adults, they have blessed our lives so much!
#13 - God's Word
I am so thankful that I can sit face-to-face with my heavenly Father each day! His word is full of so much encouragement, challenge, and promise.
#14 - The Army
Never thought I would say this, but I am thankful for the Army. Not only do they pay my husband, but they have given me a great opportunity to learn a lot about myself and my family. PWOC has been a blessing, and I also appreciate the "free" medicine and doctor's appointments.
#15 - Books
I am thankful for so much to read. I especially love to read with my boys! It probably has something to do with all the cuddles I get!
#16 - Sleep
I really appreciate the time I get in my bed! I am thankful that the boys sleep until 8 so I can sleep and still get up and get things done before they wake up. Not only my sleep, but also nap time. I get so much done during that "quiet time".
#17 - Health
I am so thankful that I can exercise and that I feel great most of the time. I don't have to spend time in the doctor's office and I can run (well, most of the time) until my heart is content!
#18 - The Great Outdoors
I think if I had to stay inside all day I would go crazy. So, I am thankful that God made everything from my backyard to the wonderful Dahlonega mountains!
#19 - Friends
Just realized that not all my friends are family/church members. Some of them fall into my life to run with me, have play dates, or watch my kiddos. I am thankful for all those that God brought into my life to make me a better person and to lend a helping hand.
#20 - My Education
While some would say I don't use it now, I disagree. I use it everyday teaching three of the best students!
There's 11-20 and I think I will stop there because tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I want to enjoy my time with my little family. It will be the first time I haven't eaten at Maw's on Thanksgiving in my whole life! I guess I should end with being thankful that she taught me how to cook! :D
