Today, in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
  Luke 2:11

God is bigger then anything we can go through.  He is truly in control.

1.  Originally I requested to take the 24th off from work.  Since I am out of vacation days it would be with out pay but the time with my family is priceless.  Last Thursday my boss came in and told me he decided to give us the 24th  off with holiday pay.  I am so thankful the extra day off with pay.

2.  A winter storm warning is scheduled from 12/24, 6:00 am to 12/26, 6:00 am with a possibility of 8-12 inches of snow.  I am so thankful to have 12/24 off from work and do not have to go out in the storm.

3.  I am thankful that God orchestrated my family's scheduled so that no one has to go out during the storm Thursday or Friday.

4.  I am thankful for a husband who moves cars around in the morning so that I can get my car out of the garage.

5.  As of right now I do not know if my sisters and their families will be able to come for Christmas or not due to the storm.  But I am very thankful that they live in the same town and can still get together for the holiday.

I pray that each and everyone of you will have a blessed Christmas.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise is name.  Psalm 100:4


1.  Sad to admit but sometimes when I sit down to write this "thankful post" nothings comes to ming right away.  I am Thankful for Truth 4 the Journey for putting this weekly post out there for us to participate in.  It makes me stop and realize how blessed I truly am.

2.  I stepped on the scale this morning and it wasn't nice to me.  That shows that God has blessed us with food in our cupboards and for that I am Thankful.  Now to stop abusing that food.

3.  Last night I fell asleep in the chair watching a television program.  I was some what disgusted with myself because I did not get a couple of things done that I wanted to.  I am Thankful however for the time of rest that God blessed me with.

4.  I am Thankful for a God that assures us he is there and has everything under control.  We just need to open our eyes and look for him, he's everywhere.

5.  I am Thankful for the wonder life mate/husband God has blessed me with.  Among many many things I love him for breaking down and letting us get a kitten.  A kitten that is full of life, joy, and just makes me laugh.

Each day that we live, he provides for our needs and gives us the strength of a young eagle. Psalm 103:5

1.  I am so Thankful for a caring God, who doesn't give up on us when we give up on ourselves.

2.  I am Thankful for a chance to start each day fresh with new possibilities and hope.

3.  I am Thankful that I am a work in progress -  God is not finished with me yet.

4.  I am Thankful that God brings my family home every night safe and sound and watches over them during the day.

5. I am Thankful for all of the fund raising opportunities God gave us this summer and fall to apply towards Little K's cheer uniform and other cheer expenses.  Between a trip to the Liberty Bowl, band camp, and new uniforms this was an expensive year.  Through God's grace Little K and I have earned (fund raised) enough money to pay for her entire cheer bill without having to dip into the personal budget.

6.  I just have to add this one:  I am so Thankful that my open pill bottle landed and spilled on the floor beside the open toilet instead of in it.

 Have a great day and may God overflow you with blessings.

1.   Even though Big K goes to college now, I am so thankful that she is close enough to come home for a family dinner from time to time.  And what I am really thankful for is the fact that she wants to come home for a family dinner from time to time.  She'll call to see what's for dinner and what time.  Shortly before dinner time she comes walking in the door with her school books for dinner and and an evening of studying.  ----Awwww family....

2.  I am thankful when God intercedes during a difficult conversation.  Giving me the right words to say and putting his hand across my  mouth when I should remain silent.

3.  I am thankful for the technology that keeps me in contact with my family and friends no matter how far away they are.

4.  This next one may sound lame, but I am thankful for an in-doors bathroom.  Call me spoiled but I would not want to have to get up in the middle of the night in the dead of winter and go outside to go to the bathroom.

5.  As I type this my head is starting to pound.  I know sometime in the future I will be thankful for the laughter of Big K has she pounds  runs down the hall chasing the dog making him bark and carry on.  Right now however, not so much.

1. This last Saturday our high school band had a State Marching Band Contest of which B and I were chaperons. It started raining on our way to the contest (contest location was about an hour away). It rained while we rehearsed and continued to rain while we waited for our turn to take the field. I am thankful that it stop raining shortly before the band took the field and the sun started to make an appearance.

2. As winter is approaching, I am so thankful for a warm house and a comfortable place to lay my head at night. I pray for those for are homeless and have to spend their time in the cold or looking for a place to get out of that cold.

3. I am thankful for the dishes left on the counter when the dishwasher is empty, it means my children are healthy and close by.

4. In this economy, I am thankful for having a job.

5. The H1N1 swept through my house a couple of weeks ago. At the time I wasn't so thankful, but now I'm thankful fevers only reached 102, aches were kept a bay with ibuprofen, and we only missed a week of school/work. So many people are getting hit harder and ending up in the hospital or worse. Thank you Lord for keeping my family safe during that time.
