ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my husband's continuing recovery from surgery.
ReplyDeleteWhere to start, where to start?? I'm thankful for my family...even the crazy ones (hey, that might be me). I wouldn't be the person I am today without them and the challenges/rewards they provide in my life. It may have taken a few tries to get the best guy out there but not only do I still love my husband completely, I still actually LIKE him more and more each day (come on, you know what I mean). He is the one that has encouraged me to get back into sewing and is worse about buying machines (I now have a 12' quilting machine but no couch in the front room) and loves to see what I have created. I am thankful to wake up on this side of the dirt every day and see what the day holds in store for me.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for all the Lord's blessing in my life, and a healthy happy family.
