thankfulness

So here it is - Christmas night

and we are getting the kids ready for bed and

I have so many things to be thankful for

and family is near the top of the list.

• I am so thankful for living near my husbands family - they sure do make Christmas a special day together.
• I am thankful that I know Jesus and my kids are watching their mom and dad celebrate His birthday and say a prayer of thanks together.
• I am thankful that my dad was able to enjoy a wonderful trip to Florida at the beginning of December and spend 5 days with all his kids and grandkids.
• I am thankful for my church who challenges me to be a Christ follower every time I walk in and out it's doors!

May you all know the love of Jesus this holiday season

and may your family be blessed by your relationship

with the most amazing Father, God himself.
