Family, friends, Macy's Parade on T.V. and PIE!!! These are my favorite things about Thanksgiving. I love gathering around a table full of food with the people I care for. Every year I am reminded of how many reasons there are to have a thankful heart. The past few years I have enjoyed some great Thanksgivings with very special people in different parts of the world. This year, I am looking forward to spending this holiday with my husband and his side of the family.  |

1.) My husband. I remember very well this time last year persistently asking God to "give me to be a wife to a good, godly man". He answered this prayer in a way that was beyond my imagination. He is a good God and I am so thankful for the man he brought into my life at just the right time.
2.) God's grace and sanctification in my life. He has forgiven me far beyond what I deserve and loves me with an everlasting love. And I realize that if it weren't for Him taking the initiative in the process of making me holy, I would forever continue in my sin without a second thought. I am thankful for his discipline, kindness, and love as he continues to bring me to completion.
3.) My family. I have a family that always loves and supports me. Much of the person I am today is because of the influence they had on me.
4.) The freedom we have in the U.S. Never again will I take this one for granted.
5.) My tutoring job. I absolutely love my current tutoring position and find great satisfaction in it. I enjoy the other ladies I tutor with and the kids are so special. Even before moving out to the mountains we were praying for a job to open up that would be a good fit for me for the time that we are here. This job was an answer to prayer.
What are you thankful for this year? Happy Thanksgiving!!
