This is quite possibly my favorite post of the year.
I should do it everyday...not just Thanksgiving day.
However, today I am thankful for so many things.
Here goes...my heart.
Jesus Christ. For His unending, never-failing love. For His guidance and protection. For His goodness and mercy. For being faithful when I am not. For providing for all my needs. For shedding His precious blood. For being my Savior and friend.
Daddy's patience, wisdom, & love. Mama's friendship and faithfulness. Britta's determination and drive. Ability to type this. Pictures. Thaxton Baptist Church. Mamaw Mabel's passion for the food pantry. Papaw's hard work. Beezie's heart and soul and "that's what I say." Special Education kids. Mamaw Margie's sense of humor and contentment in life. My car. My guitar. Running water. Electricity.
My handsome boyfriend and best friend, Paul. Contacts, for without them I would be blind. Shoes. Dishwasher. My camera. Paul's sweet family. ICC BSU. Tahoe City, CA. Operation Christmas Child. Cherokee Cove. Bro. Jimmy & Mrs. Janice. Chris' friendship for the past 19 years. Jacob's awkwardness & Bible wisdom. My Acteen girls. Mississippi State. Costa. Mission trips. Debo's Sunday School class. Debo in general. Washing machine and dryer. Tv. Laptop.
Diet Coke. Madison, Katilyn, & Payton and the joy they bring into my life. Payton's "Ashey, Mickey, Moon, Pukie, Paauul, peez, & hey baby" plus all his other words. Good health. My bed. My 5 senses. Andrea Rodgers. Ceiling fans. Earrings. Cell phone. Karen Kingsbury. Dr. Coffey's classes. My boy cousins (Morgans + Warren). Paul's ability to make me laugh no matter the circumstance.
Katy Lynn Kimbrell. Straighteners. Doctors. Nurses. Policemen--Paul & Michael. Firemen--Andrew. Paramedics--Chad McCoy. Milk. Cookies. Splenda. Car washes. Snail mail. The Gillentine Family, for opening their home to me and loving me. The Lewellen's. The Webb's & Hooker families. Leslie Michelle Ross. College friends. Clairee Mattox, for all the sleepovers this semester :).
Kelly's Korner and her sweet mama. Sunshine. Rain. Bonfires. Camping with Cory & Cassie. The miracle of a newborn. The Comer's and their sweet kiddos. Lamps. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Sushi. Dates with Paul. Surprise parties. Breath. Ability to blink. Soldiers and their families--Ash & Chris Cox. LP. Sara Beth & Kiersten. Girls nights. Cowbells. Scarfs. Sunglasses. Dollar Tree.
Teachers. Lauren, Ash, & Am. Church choir. Food in cabinets. My Bible. Whitney. Lunch at Beezie's every Sunday and Wednesday night. Bro. Steve & Mrs. Missi plus their sweet kids. Oven to cook. My dog T. Internet. My big block family. Pontotoc student teaching. Passing all 3 Praxis'. Coupons. Memories. Front porch swings. Peace. Crickets in the country. Stars in the night sky.
This doesn't even begin to touch a fraction of the MANY things God has blessed me with. I know I left TONS of things out. I have SOOO much to thank Him for. If there is any good in me or my life it comes from my Heavenly Father. He is the giver of everything good and to Him I say thank you.
Start you a list. You'll be surprised at all the little things you forget to say thank you for.
Happy Thankgiving to my blog readers! I am most certainly thankful for you!
Until next time.
Love God. Love people.
