“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salavation. Selah.” ~Psalm 68:19

I read this verse in my devotions this morning, and my heart said a hearty AMEN! There are other things I could have written about this week, but I would be remiss if I did not stop and take time to list (because there is so much) what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for:

• A loving, Heavenly Father who never gives up on me though I fail daily.
• A husband who loves and serves God, provides for our family and is patient with me.
• Daughters who are not only beautiful and intelligent, but healthy and happy, growing in the knowledge of God.
• Parents who were brave enough to leave an empty lifestyle to live a full life in Christ.
• In-Laws who are great examples for, well, anybody!
• Godly grandparents who God has kept on this earth to influence my children.
• Technology to keep in touch with loved ones.
• Doctors who are able to use ultrasound to see our new daughter due this spring.
• A Pastor who preaches the Word of God without shame or watering it down.
• A church family that really is like a family.
• A warm place to live. (And a cool place too!)
• God’s provision through lean times and bountiful times. (Yes, I have seen both this year.)
• The Word of God to show me what I need to change, encourage me in discouragement, and empower me by the Spirit of God.
• A sister who truly is my best friend.
• A brother who is helpful.
• The ability to take vacations! 🙂

So… what are you thankful for? Feel free to share your list in the comments.
