Thankful Post - Day 2 - My Husband


So I'm on a bit of a roll - I've made it to day two!!!!

Today, I'm thankful for  my husband of 14 years.  I'm thankful that 14 years ago Monday, I said, "I do." Our lives have been blessed and for this I'm grateful!

He is a great daddy to our three children.  He is our protector, provider, and hard working guy.  He amazes me with his knowledge of vehicles and his ability to fix them.  I really don't think there is anything he can't fix.  He is my encourager when I am down.  He believes in our children and pushes them to do their very best.

He is the best dad to our boys. They love when he comes home from work and wrestles with them, takes them to the shop or rides four wheelers with them.  He is so proud of our baby girl and melts when she calls him. I love to see this great big man turn to mush at the sight of his little girl.  Oh, that she may find a husband that loves her like her daddy does.

Today, fourteen years ago, I didn't know how to be a wife, lover or friend and today, I'm grateful and honored to be your wife, lover, and friend.  I thank God for placing you in my life and look forward to living out our story that God has already written for us.

30 Days of Thankfulness


So I'm feelin' the need to blog.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe its because its November and I have much to be thankful for. Maybe its because I have now neglected my blog since having three kids here and working full time.  I'm not sure why I feel the need to blog or if anyone even reads this blog but I figured, I would blog and see what happens.

Many FB friends and bloggers are blogging 30 days of thankfulness and I guess I'm feeling a little convicted to blog about that so here goes my first one (I am behind a few days) and we will see where it goes.

#1 - I am thankful for Jesus!

Without Jesus, I would be nowhere.  I look back over my life and realize that this is not the life I had planned but it is SO.MUCH.BETTER!  His ways are always better than ours! Praise God!

With Jesus, I am so much better off. I know where my future lies.  I know where my hope lies.

I'm so thankful to Jesus for the life He has given me.

He has given me a wonderful husband and three beautiful children. A warm house, a safe community, a career that I enjoy (on most days), an amazing church family, a home group like no other, and so much more.

My list could go on and on but since I have a few more days to blog, I will stop here for now.
