Annual Appreciation Announcement

I’ve never done it by blog before, but I’ve decided to share what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for a husband who loves me and puts up with me and does  his best to provide financially as well as emotionally and spiritually. I love this man, and we’ve been married 33 years. We’ve had our ups and downs and sometimes my favorite song for us has been http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DM9D6c6Rss&feature=artist “I Still Believe” by Lee Greenwood. 

I am thankful for four sons who are strong and healthy and responsible. Two of them have become dads and they are doing a good job of it. I’m thankful for two daughters-in-law who are both excellent moms – thankful that the Lord provided such wonderful wives for these two guys.

I am thankful for two daughters – both of them wrote 50,000 word novels in November for NaNoWriMo and I’m so happy that they met their goals. Thankful for my son-in-law as well – it’ll be five years soon since we had that first family wedding.

I am thankful for two awesome little people – Isaac, age 18 months, and Zoey, age 2 months, who delight us and provide comic relief at family gatherings. I pray that they will grow up to be godly people – because that’s the best way to wish for them to find true joy and peace.

I am thankful for my house – I really like my house. I feel very happy just looking around sometimes at the flowers in the blue vase, the cherry wood cabinet, the family pictures on the walls, the colors. I love my laz-y-boy armchairs and my bed and my  new flannel sheets (that seemed to have an adhesive on them this morning, as I couldn’t quite pull myself away from them….)

more to come….
