First and foremost I am Thankful for my Salvation & the Hope of Eternal Life , made available thru Jesus Christ and His Suffering, Death and Resurrection. I'm thankful that my husband had the same Salvation & that his Hopes of Eternal Life have been fulfilled. I am thankful for all the wonderful (& even the not so wonderful) years with my husband & all the memories thereof. I am thankful God chose Americans as my parents and America as my birthplace. I am thankful for my family, my church family, my friends, including my DS friends. I am thankful that God has blessed me with all the things I tend to take for granted...food,clothing shelter, all the modern conveniences that make life a bit easier. And last, but by no means least, I am Thankful that God has a plan for my life and I am Thankful that as I watch Him unfolding that plan, I am filled with hope because it's beginning to look like 2011 is going to be a good year....
Thank you God, for everything You have done, for everything You are doing, for everything You are going to do in my life....Amen.
