Today, I had everyone sit down after breakfast and list 6 thing they were thankful for and why. This Thanksgiving, I am SO VERY thankful for so much!

Here's my list:
1. AMERICA - our freedom - soldiers
2. Our home - shelter, clothing, food in our cupboards, running vehicles, warmth, bikes, the smell of lit candles, and cozy blankets
3. My husband and his new job, his desire to serve others & talents in doing almost anything - Jacob and his love of riding bikes, playing with cars and ability to learn anything and everything - Caleb and his love for living a farmer's life, love to cook/bake, and his ability to do more & more things - Megan and her love to be with friends, her fight for independence and musical talents -parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins
4. Our church & church family
5. HEALTH!!!
6. Salvation, HEAVEN, my Bible, God's care, love & provisions!
O, give thanks unto the Lord for HE is good!

I think that you had more than six items to be thankful for. Isn't that great that we really can't count all the wonderful things God has given to us.

Great photos to express your thankfulness.
