What are YOU thankful for?

 

 

Judy, a friend, posted this today and it really touched my heart.

I hope she doesn’t mind that it took the link for my own blog…(love ya Judy!)

Here it is!

So, what am I thankful for? 

1.  I’m thankful for the tests that show spots on lungs while they are still very small.

2. I’m thankful that my Father in Heaven loves me and my family.

3. I’m thankful that He is mindful of our family and is making sure that the doctor’s check Kelvin for Cancer every 6 months.

4. I’m thankful for the adversities that I must go through, because I know that I will be a stronger person afterward.  That I will have learned SOMETHING from it

5. I’m so very thankful for my family.  Some of them are my best friends…

6. I’m thankful to have the gospel in my life.  For the guidance it gives me in raising my children.

7. I’m thankful that I have a home to live in, a bed to sleep in and for food on the table.

8. I’m grateful for the opportunity that I have been truly blessed with, to raise 10 wonderful children.  Although it has been difficult at times (heart wrenching at times) I would never give up even ONE moment.  It has been the most exhilarating roller coaster ride that I have EVER taken. 

9. I am thankful to have met two wonderful women that I admire and love very much from blogging.  (You know who you are…) 

10.  I’m thankful that I live in this country.

11. I’m thankful that I have a son that is serving our country in the Navy.

12. I’m thankful that I love to create.  And I’m thankful for the talent TO create.  (I think it would be horrible to WANT to create and not be able to..)

13. I’m thankful for the beautiful weather we are having right now.

14. I’m thankful for my husbands job that has supported our family for the last 18 years.  And for the man who works EVERY SINGLE DAY with NO complaints.  And yes, I said NO complaints. 

15. I’m thankful for the man who puts me first in everything.  I love him so much…

16.I’m thankful for music.  The good kind.  Because it touches my soul and speaks to me. 

17. I’m thankful for books.  My imagination lives in them.

18. I’m thankful for the testimonies of others.  It helps me with my own.

19. I’m thankful for people with a sense of humor.  I love to have fun and laugh.  Oh how I love to laugh…

 

There are so many other things to be thankful for , and I am thankful for them.  Just too many to list…

And yes, the doctors found a small nodule on Kelvin’s lung a couple of weeks ago.  He has to go through a couple of other doctor’s to get to the one we need (thanks to HMO’s) .  We will find out soon if it’s cancer.  It probably is, but again, I’m thankful that they have found it so soon.  With it being so small, it probably won’t be too difficult to get rid of it. (I hope)

I think the worst part of all of this is watching my husband worry about his family.  Can you believe that WE are his first thoughts.  He is such a caring , giving man.  I am so lucky to have him.

So, Happy Thanksgiving!  And don’t forget  to be thankful…
