So Thankful

I heard something on Rick and Bubba this morning that I am going to try to make a point and do this Thanksgiving.  I don't remember the reference but someone told Rick that they challenged people to stop for 10 minutes on Thanksgiving day and pray, thanking God for everything, not asking for anything but just showing gratitude for what Jesus Christ has done for us.  He said that the sad thing was that almost 100% of people he challenged thought it was a great idea but only 5% would actually follow through.  So, I want to make it a point to be thankful to my creator for dying on a cross for my sins and being raised from the dead three days later.  This alone is something that I can't thank Him enough for, much less all of the blessings he has given me in my life. 

I am thankful for a wonderful, Godly husband that puts Christ first and is the spiritual leader of our house.  I  can not begin to express what having a Christ centered marriage means to me.  We are by no means perfect but we do have a marriage that is founded on Christ. 



I am thankful for Kylie.  Words can not even describe what she means to me.  Sometimes I just sit and think about what a miracle it was that God placed her in my womb and gave her to us to raise her in the admonition of the Lord.  We are so blessed.  It makes me think of Christ love for us.  I am His daughter just like Kylie is mine, except He loves me more than I could ever imagine loving Kylie.  WOW!!!!

I am thankful for wonderful family and friends.  I have a wonderful mom and dad that helped show me Christ and loved/love me unconditionally.  I have a sister who is my best friend and a brother that means the world to me (Kerry's not so bad either, she is a great sister-in-law)! :)  I am so thankful for my in-laws.  They mean so much to us and I am so glad that we have a great relationship.  Kyle's mom and dad and Katie would do anything in the world for us.

The list goes on and on, but I just wanted to take a minute to tell just a FEW things I am thankful for.  I hope everyone has a blessed thanksgiving!
