Season of Thanksgiving

Today I am thankful that I woke up and could get out of bed.
Today I am thankful for my children's messy hair and sleepy eyes as they come down stairs.
Today I am thankful when they look at me and say "I love you mama."
Today I am thankful for the warmth in our home and the lights to see.
Today I am thankful for fresh clean water to shower and brush my teeth.
Today I am thankful for a healthy breakfast and food ready to prepare lunch and dinner.
Today I am thankful for a warm hat, coat and mittens to keep us warm outside.
Today I am thankful I can drive my kids to school knowing they'll get a good education.
Today I am thankful for a house to clean because it means I have one.
Today I am thankful that I can walk, jump and now run. (even as an amputee!)
Today I am thankful for a husband who loves me despite my imperfections.
Today I am thankful for a God who loves me who knows ALL my imperfections!
Today I am thankful for the freedom to say "I love the Lord and to him, I am thankful!"
