What are you Thankful for this year?

My family and I have so much to be thankful for this year! We have seen God at work in both big and small ways.

TODAY I GIVE THANKS FOR:

my salvation- I sin and fall short of His glory so very often, but God continues to show his favor in my life!! For that, I am thankful!

my two precious children- They keep me young, do/say the wittiest things that reminds me to laugh and not be so serious all the time, they bless me daily. For that, I am thankful!

my husband- Chris took a chance on an "older" woman, and 12 years later we're still going strong. It has been a crazy, yet blessed 8 1/2 year marriage. For that, I am thankful!

my job- It is stressful to say the least, but I try not to take it for granted. Working with middle school kids has afforded me more laughs and good times than I can begin to mention. It is both rewarding and challenging. For that, I am thankful!

my home- I love this house which we have made into our "home". It is a wonderful place to watch our children run, play, and grow up in. For that, I am thankful!

overcoming- It has been a very long time since I wrote about our loss. We were so happy to find out in July 2009 that God was sending us another baby. Within days of finding out the wonderful news, He took her home to Heaven. Many tears were shed for months, but He sent Alyssa Claire Styles to us and our lives will never be the same. For that, I am thankful!

....I could write for days. These are just a few things that I give thanks for today. What are you thankful for this year?
