Day 124: Nov. Thankful Day 28
Thankful for our children's friends. You will be known by the company you keep and I'm thankful that our children have always made good choices in their friendships. Blessed are we that they have been surrounded by wonderful kids with morals, values and integrity that match their own and that their friends come from Godly, loving families. Friendship is a blessing, and we are thankful out children are making life-long friendships that inspire, support and motivate each other to service and greatness, kindness and humility. We are also thankful for our friendships that have formed through those families.

Day 99: Thankful Nov. 3
Day 3-I'm thankful for God's gift of children and our 3 bring absolute JOY to our lives!
All my life, I looked forward to having children and becoming a mother. I can recall when my older sister was pregnant with my niece and I was so close to her! From the moment I felt her kick in my sister's tummy-to the first time I held her in my arms. I felt that unconditional love that you first experience with loving a child. It was the best thing!
Then when I got married and we started to plan for having children of out own, we went through a slight scare because I had a pre-cancerous surgery on my cervix, which my Dr. said made it risky to become pregnant. She wanted us to wait at least a full year before we tried conceiving. She also said there was a slight chance that I may not be able to conceive after the surgery because of possible scar tissue forming. I remember feeling so upset at the thought of not having children! I just couldn't believe that I would ever hear those words and I didn't want to believe it! Well, my husband and I didn't wait as advised. We got pregnant right away and THANKFULLY the entire pregnancy went without issue. We gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, baby boy and all was right in the world!
We went on to have 2 more easy pregnancies and 2 beautiful daughters who are the MOST amazing sisters to each other!
Children are a GIFT from God and we are so THANKFUL for the blessing of our children!

Day 97: Thankful November
It's November again and you know what that means. Thankful posts, pumpkin pie, and for our house--Christmas music and Christmas movies and of course--hot cocoa!! We start celebrating the Christmas season because we enjoy it so much and it seems to go by so fast! This year, I'm going to try and do the Thankful Post each day. Well, if I miss a day, I'm going to try and get caught up but I do want to try and get a post up for each day in Nov. I certainly have plenty to be thankful for so it will be fun to participate.
Day 1- I am thankful for God! His love and mercy and patience with me, His grace and His gifts that He bestows upon me, His goodness, blessings and His will that I seek to accept, His Son, who died for me and my sins. Thank You, Jesus! † So blessed.......
