30 Days of Thankfulness

IT'S NOVEMBER!!!!  Just might be my favorite month.  Maybe because I LOVE FALL, Thanksgiving is this month & It's my birthday month.
I have so much to be thankful for.  I thought it would be fun to journal and reflect upon what I am thankful for during the month of November.



01.  Thankful that I have the freedom to believe & worship my GOD and to know I am FORGIVEN!

02.  I have honestly been blessed with two handsome, healthy boys.  I know why God gave me life ~ to be a mother and love these two with all my heart.  For this I am beyond thankful.

03.  Thankful to have a devoted, loving, supportive, committed and giving husband that is a provider to his family.  This man has a passion for seeing youth succeed.  He has devoted years in our community as a coach.  Not everyone can do this and I respect the fact he has made such an impact in so many young lives.

04.  Thankful to have a home with heat!!!  It's getting COLD out there!!!
