It is that time of year again, the time of year when everywhere you look you see signs that the holidays are quickly approaching! Well, here we are the day before Thanksgiving and I have a ton of things to be thankful for, but I thought I would narrow it down to my top 5! I feel that Thanksgiving gets overshadowed by Christmas, so I always like to stop and reflect on the year and everything that God has blessed me with. So, here you go, my Top Five Things I am Thankful for:
5. I am thankful for the roof over my head and the food in my refrigerator. Sometimes, I take for granted that I live in a solid structure, with a roof over my head and all the groceries that are in my pantry and fridge. There are so many with out and I am blessed to have what I have.
4. My family and extended family. I have a huge family! Sometimes, it can be a little over whelming and LOUD, but we are all a close knit family and I love it. We recently got another new addition to our family in our foster to adopt journey and my family did not hesitate to come and help out or send things that would help us out. Truly blessed!!
3. I am thankful for this foster to adopt journey that God has placed us in. It has helped me grow stronger in my faith and trust in Him! It is unbelievable how He has answered our prayers and is allowing us to help raise these 2 precious children that He created! We are absorbing and loving every minute of it.
2. I am thankful for my husband! He is my biggest supporter and my partner in this crazy journey, called LIFE! He gives up so much for me and the family. Lately, it has been sleep, so I can make it through the day with 3 kids, even though he has to go to work as well.
1. The number one thing that I am thankful for is MY GOD!! Without Him I could not be thankful for anything and I would not be able to do anything. He is my rock and I love Him with all my heart! I am so THANKFUL that He did not turn His back on us and died for ALL of our sins so that we could be FREE. He is a forgiving God and for that I am truly thankful!!
So, there you have it, MY top five things to be thankful for. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and know that God truly loves each and everyone of us. You do not have to wait until Thanksgiving to reflect on the things you are thankful for, everyday you wake up you have something to be thankful for.
Psalm 107:1"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." (NIV)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
Love in Christ,
Alicia
