Recently, I have noticed how much in life I have taken for granted. I think I spend way too much time complaining and not enough time being thankful for all that I have! So..here's just a few things that I am very thankful for in my life....
1) The Lord- each day He truly amazes me and blesses me. I am so grateful for His grace and love.....
"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting!"
2) My sweet husband- what a gift from God...=)
3) New Friends!
4) The Navy...I know, I know this one is probably surprising to many...but despite all my complaining the Navy has given us job security in an economy where many people are losing their jobs and I am VERY thankful for that!
5) Being an American- I know this is probably pretty cliche but I am proud of our country and I do believe that we are a nation of great people..
6) Things that make me laugh....I am so grateful for people, T.V. shows, really anything that makes me chuckle..
7) Pumpkin, our crazy cat. He's actually more dog than cat. He has been a great companion for me especially when Doug's gone. I think the Lord knew we needed him....
8) Adventure- God has given me so many opportunities to travel, see new people, and new places..I am so grateful for all of these experiences!
9) Challenges- God has really pushed both Doug and I in new directions these past couple of years...Though some of these challenges have been painful, I have learned so much and grown a ton! I am thankful that God loves me enough to not let me be comfortable!
10) Life! God has given us life and there is so much to do both here in this world and the next..I look forward to it all =)
Anyway, like I said..these are just a few of the things in my life I have to be thankful for! I am truly very blessed....
