As we get closer to Thanksgiving Day, I am overwhelmed at the things God has done in my life.  My family is a treasure that I didn't realize for a long time.  I took them all for granted, just walloring in the fact that they were mine, and not taking the time to step back and SEE them.  This year I am thankful for each and every one of my family...the four of us, and all the extended ones, too.

 This year I am thankful that Jesus has opened my heart to the teenagers in my church, giving me the burden for their purity, and praying them into a closer walk with Him!

 This year I am thankful that I still have the freedom to worship and praise the God who gave me Jesus and His Spirit to indwell in me.

 This year I am thankful for Christian artists/bands that keep me singing and dancing ~well, I think it is dancing!~

 This year I am thankful that home education is the blessing and adventure we have chosen to continue.

 Next year will be different, and I will still be thankful for all of these things, and, Lord willing, MORE!!!!
