Thankful: Day 7

I am thankful for my dad! He is an amazing dad. I have said before how he just stepped into the role of both mother and father. He carried a weight that no one should have to, but since he did he did it well. I was always a daddy's girl. Now I get the joy of watching my children enjoy him and him enjoy them. There is something special about watching your parents with your children! Thank you God for my dad!

I am thankful for my mom. While my time with her was short, I am still thankful for her unfailing love and the wonderful memories I have of our time together!

Thankful: Day 5

Today I am thankful for my church and my pastor! My church is awesome! I am so thankful for a church that truely feels like family. I am so thankful that God started the local church, where we can find safe place to worship in today's evil world. My pastor is well knowledge and constantly learning. He teaches doctrine and teaches us where and how to learn for ourselves. This church has been a huge blessing to our family, and I am so thankful for their love and kindness!

Thankful: Day 4

Thankful for my sweet beautiful oldest daughter, my Emma Jewel! She truely is a Jewel. She is independent and yet still my baby. She loves to snuggle, mommy is happy to oblige. She is a little to mommy to her baby dolls, and she tries to be one to her baby sister. She loves her big brother so much, they are almost like twins (the way they act and how emotionally attached they are). She is so smart, she loves to sing and memorizes songs quickly. She brings laughter, joy and beauty to our lives. Thank you God for our precious Jewel!

I am thankful for my son! He is an amazing kid. He so smart and eager to learn. He is the best big brother, very protective and helpful to his little sisters.

Today I am thankful for my wonderful husband! He works a job he does not like and hours he hates. Hopefully this will not be much longer, but for now we are happy he has a job. He sacrifices for us. He loves us so much. I am so so so in love with him and so happy Gid chose me to be his wife. I am blessed to call him my husband!

Thankful: Day1

I have decided I am going to write a post everyday this month (I hope). Everyday will feature something I am thankful for.

Day 1: I am thankful for....

My Savior

He died for me, rose for me, and because of Him I know I am on my way to heaven. I am thankful for His love, forgiveness, and mercy. I am thankful that I can draw the strength and wisdom I need from Him for each day! He has blessed me with a wonderful husband and family. He cares for us in so many ways!
