FFF: Give Thanks!

This week's FFF theme is one close to my heart. I have been trying all year long to have a thankful heart and to remember that everything I have is a gift from God. So, I have so many, many things I could list under giving thanks!

I am thankful that I am allowed to serve an awesome God who loves me even when I am at my most unloveable.

I am thankful to be married to the most wonderful, thoughtful, and sweet man who has loved me unconditionally and put up with me through 3 years of dating and 9 years of marriage. (Love you, Will!)

I am thankful to be called Mommy by my miracle son, who adores me even when I'm having a bad day and who brings a smile to my face every time his sweet voice says, "Mama" (which is at least a million times a day!)

I am thankful for the privilege of raising my two nephews, who are turning into amazing young men right before my eyes.

I am thankful that I can stay home and spend my days looking after Ben and my niece. There is not greater joy or responsibility than raising a child!

I am thankful for my parents and the fact that they are alive and relatively healthy.

I am thankful for my church family, who has been an endless supply of support and love.

I love that age with that sweet "Mama" voice....It's still sweet at 3 and 11 but that younger baby voice. I loved that!
