I saw this on someones blog the other day and it just seemed like how I feel these days. God has been good to us. Sometimes I feel like he has been better to me then most. He just keeps blessing and blessing us. Last year someone put out a Facebook challenge to post what you are thankful for every day in the month of November. It was quite interesting to do. I'm not on Facebook this year but have tried to do that each day this month. We do have so much to be thankful for. Our family has pretty good health. Yes, we have our usual aches and pains and Carolyn has had some problems with her gallbladder while pregnant but for the most part we are healthy. When I look at some of the blogs I read daily I realize we are so blessed with good health. God has given me a wonderful family. I have a husband that provides for us so that I am able to stay home and take care of Jay'von. I have three children that now have homes of their own and are doing well. I have three and a half grandchildren that are so precocious (and of course I am not prejudiced at all). I think that was supposed to be precious...lol. I have a beautiful home that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We have more clothes then we need and all the food we want. Our water is good, we don't have to worry that it will make us sick. We have three vehicles sitting in our driveway that we can depend on to take us where we need.
This is just what I can write as fast as I can right off the top of my head without really thinking about it. We are so blessed and God has been so good to us. I know everybody talks about blessings at this time of year and I don't want to be thankful just because it is Thanksgiving. I want to remember to be thankful every day....all year. Thanksgiving should be a way of life.
Have a great Thanksgiving. Enjoy the day with family and friends and remember "God's Been Good"!
I have been married to Charlie for 34 years. We are now empty nesters for the second time. Our 3 children are now grown and have families of their own. Chuck is 31 and is married to Danielle. They have Breanna (11) and C.J. (9). Carolyn is 30 and married to George Cheriyan. They have Zara, who turned 1 on March 7. Courtney is 26 and has Jay'von who is 4. Charlie is still a union carpenter and I am a certified medical coder staying home right now to help with my grandchildren. We live on a hill on 30 wooded acres. We love living in the country.
