Am I First?

I'm thankful for 5 loving healthy kids... that drive me nuts sometimes :)

A very loving caring husband who has my back always.

My family ( parents, siblings) even if we are dealing with issues, the trails will someday pass and hopefully we will a stronger family bond when its all said and done.

That in this time where so many don't have a job or roof over thier head, we do. Even if we are barly getting by... we are getting by.

Im thankful that I have all of you mommas ( and dads) to be able to reach out to when I need you :)

What a wonderful post! We too have been so blessed this year. The major things are:

--last week we were given our OB's blessing to begin trying to have children again (I had a partial molar pregnancy early this year, and had surgery/tests/more tests/then wait 6 months....it was a very long year in that sense), but we are so excited to start a family of our own
--my husband recently accepted a position at another company, and he's going to start toward the beginning of December. It's a really great move for him, and he is so happy....which makes me happy

I could go on and on about all the good things that have happened to our family. We always go around the table at Thanksgiving and talk about what we're thankful for....thanks for getting my juices flowing!!

I'm thankful for my life as it is...I really am! It is not perfect, but it's just right for me :) Congratulations on your newfound faith. Sometimes we feel as if our prayers are not being answered or don't feel like God is watching over us, but without fail he is there with a purpose. I have struggled with that ALOT in the past, but in the end...my prayers were answered with lessons of love and patience.

I am extra thankful for being back in Huntington Beach after a couple moves for my husbands company...never again! We're here for good and it feels so right!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, that moved me to tears. What a testimony. Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, very similar to what you said about you & your husband being thissuperclose to throwing in the towel, but then magically having it all turn around, that's us also. I am ridiculously thankful for that. I'm thankful that we've both got jobs & a roof over our heads. I'm thankful that our financial situation finally seems to be turning around for the better. I'm thankful that we've got our health & our kids are happy. I'm happy that the kids have finalized their Christmas lists so I can start shopping this week! ;)

This is a really good questions, who cares if someone else may have asked it before, if they did I didn't read it then either. I too have many things to be thankful for. My husband lived through a horrible accident earlier this year, and was not hurt at all. My kids are growing and maturing. I am able to pay my bills every month. I can walk. I have a nice family, and they will all be filling up my house tomorrow. My house smells good, with all the pies cooking. And I can move my arms and fingers, to write this to you. I also wanted to say to you, Adansmama, that I have been keeping up, with your story. I am thankful that things have turned around in your life. That is a true blessing, and something to be very thankful for. I hope you have an awesome holiday!!!!

Hello! Nope, not the first!! But that's okay!! Reminders of what we have to be thankful for are ALWAYS a good thing - doesn't mean just at Thanksgiving - it's ALL YEAR LONG!!!

THANK YOU!!! for posting this story!! I love the news you got today!!! THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!!

I'm thankful for many things - God has worked in my life in MANY ways not just this year but throughout my life.

On a material level? I'm thankful for the roof over my head, clothes on my back, food in my belly and in the pantry...

On a non-material level? My husband (who is not perfect and can still drive me insane but he's perfect for me!!), my children - again who are not perfect - but have soooo many wonderful attributes, personalities and on and on and on...

I'm thankful for my best friend, Judi, who has been with me for 35 years through thick and thin, ugly and beautiful, rich and poor - sounds like a marriage doesn't it?

My family - I've got GREAT parents!!! They have set a wonderful example of marriage, love, commitment, sacrifice, giving, the whole gamut..still married over 50 years. I've got a wonderful sister, brother, niece and nephews...and extended family?!?! God has provided me with a bounty!!!

My friends - I have a wonderful set of friends. Again - my bounty is full.

I'm so glad that God has become a different/better presence in your life! That's something to cheer about!! YAHOO!!!!

I too am thankful for the rough patches in life - it shows me who my friends are, where God is in my life and what He has helped mold me to be!!!

I have had so much cause to realize over this last year just how incredibly lucky I am, and I have been trying to consciously be thankful for something every day - be it my adorable children, my husband's screwball sense of humor, or just a beautiful sunset. I am trying to deserve that good fortune, partly by passing it on when and where I can, and partly by being grateful.

Posts like yours, by the way, are something I am grateful for; it makes me glad to see someone who is happy. I have always worn my faith comfortably - like an old sweater - it's not shiny or fashionable, but it fits me and it's cozy. I'm glad you are finding comfort and warmth in your faith now, too. Congratulations on all of your blessings, and wishes to you for many more.
