Hi all...T and I are down in Bishopville, spending some time with his side of the family for Thanksgiving. Last night was a rough night, and I won't go into detail online, but something happened with my sister-in-laws brother, and we ended up getting roughly around 3 hours of sleep. Unfortunately it did not end well for him, and it's just so sad and unfortunate that it had to happen...especially being Thanksgiving (he's just in heaps of trouble).
It made me stop and think about things that I am so very thankful for. God has blessed my life in so many different ways, and I know that I could never be thankful enough to him for all he has done. Too many times I get stuck on "my problems" that I don't see the blessings...
I have an amazing family (and wonderful in-laws too)...my sister that is my best friend, parents that have worked hard all my life to teach me right from wrong, and help me learn about the love that God has given to me, my brother, who despite his age right now, loves and looks out for me...even from an hour and a half away. I have Ginger and her kids, who no matter how far away they are, love and miss me...and make me feel needed...and Alyssa who is improving everyday (the power of God is amazing).
I have a wonderful husband, T, who loves me, unconditionally, and I know I can rely on him, who works very hard for our family, and is my supporter.
I have amazing friends who would bend over backwards for me, who pray for me everyday, and who just make me laugh and enjoy the goodness in life.
I have an awesome God. I have been given another day to breathe in life, and rejoice in the many blessings he has given to me. How incredible is that? I can't imagine not having all that to rely on. To know that every new day that I am given, it's because God has a purpose for me in that day...if not, I wouldn't be here.
I know that I could never be THANKFUL enough for what He has given to me, but I want to share my thanks for Him with others.
Thank you God, THANK YOU!
I challenge you all to look at your lives as well. Not the problems, the blessings. Think about it...are YOU thankful?
<3 Jess
