My Thanksgiving List

I have been reading other people's posts on Thanksgiving lately and, although Thanksgiving Day has passed, I know that REAL Thanksgiving is celebrated on a daily basis (or should be).

What am I thankful for? In trying to keep it short, this is my list:

First, I am thankful for God sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (Yeshua ha Mashiach), to take on all my sins and die for me so that I will have eternal life. I have a home in heaven just waiting for me!

Next, I am thankful for my husband Rick, my gift from God, of the last 7 1/2 years. I'm sure you have heard the song, 'When God made you, he must have been thinking about me.' Yes, it was definitely a divine union. For God to give me a man who knows how to treat a woman with love and respect and even half-way understands me is just awesome in itself. We are Newlyweds Forever. The perfect trinity of God, man & woman. I could go on forever here, but I think you have the idea. LOL

I am thankful for my family, his family, our family together. I married into a 'ready-made family' so I already have three beautiful great-granddaughters to enjoy. I have both of my parents fairly near to see often.

I am thankful for my friends and church family. They are always there to encourage and pray for and with me when I need it. I have such great friends who love me and I love them back.

I am thankful for the provisions from God of a roof over my head and food on my table, especially right now while I have been out of work. The system in this world is cruel and unfair but God is my provider and I look to him to meet my needs.

Oh yes, I am thankful for my two cats, Cuddles & Rusty. They are so much fun to have around. Together they are like Garfield & Odie (even though Odie is a dog). Cuddles is FULL of love and affection (typical of the Ragamuffin breed). Rusty is very independent and tough but always shows his gentle side with me. He is just like Garfield (even looks like him).

There are SO many other things I am thankful for, too many to list. I am SO blessed.

So, to all my family & friends out here, I say THANK YOU for being here for me and I love you. You are all my angels.
