Thankful Thursday What are you thankful for

Tonight as I sit here I am thankful that my family is all doing well, that my children are in college and doing well and that my mom and brother are doing great in their small business. I am thankful that I have a wonderful partner on the walk through life, that with him we created a lovely family that is strong, and I am thankful that no matter the years every day seems new in the walk through life with my husband. I am thankful that Princess has a set of wonderful parents that take care of her so well that I never need to worry, that my house is warm and my feet are not cold and that the bathroom water is fixed. I am thankful that I could take a warm shower, that my daughter who worried she would never make friends or find a boyfriend is starting to have a wonderful social life and that my son who dated a girl for many years is still flirtatiously in love with her. I am thankful that my son who will graduate from high school has decided to evaluate his own choices, that my youngest daughter decided to try college rather than going straight to work and that my middle daughter is doing well in school and is learning that their are choices in life that must be taken if she is to be successful. I am thankful that my eldest son is doing well and is making choices himself regarding friends, that my oldest daughter sees that God has called her to be a stay at home mom, and that her husband sees it that way as well and has a great job so that he can provide for all three of them.

With all that I am thankful for I must say there is one above all else that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my heavenly father and that he makes a way for all of us if we just make the choice to believe and follow. I also know that there are things beyond gold and silver and personal pleasure that he provides for us and for that I am thankful.
