Give Thanks

I CAN NOT believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away! Seriously - where has this year gone? This time last year we were anticipating our move here to Louisville, and now, it has almost been a year that we've been here. What's that they say? "Time flies when you're having fun!" - I'm not sure that Aaron would define seminary as "fun(!)," but at any rate, time has flown by!

Today I would like to make a list of things I'm thankful for. It is the Thanksgiving season, after all!

1. My salvation

2. My husband

3. My son

4. My parents/family

5. My SC friends

6. My new L'ville friends

7. A warm bed to sleep in

8. clothes to wear

9. food to eat

10. God's grace & mercy

11. an education

12. health

13. a nice, working car

14. eyes to see, ears to hear, mouth to speak, legs, arms - an able body!

15. the health of my husband and son

16. the opportunity to attend SWI

17. the freedom to attend the church of my choice

18. a Christian home to grow up in

19. a place to live

20. Aaron's job

21. my husband's willingness to follow God's call, attend seminary and work hard to provide for our family

22. Jesus Christ

23. having many available versions of the Bible in my language!

24. having a Bible

25. my camera :)

And I could sit here all day writing out the things that I'm thankful for. If we really stop to think about it, we all have so much to be thankful for. Remember the "old" hymn 'Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings see what God has done. Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your many blessings see what God has done!' God has blessed me and my family in so many ways, and I just want to say thanks to Him!
