With (Canadian) Thanksgiving having just passed, I wanted to take the time to acknowledge everything that I'm grateful for in my life.
The first thing, and the one of utmost importance, is my relationship with God 馃檹鉁濓笍 I am forever thankful that I found God when I did. My life was already full before, but ever since accepting God, it has become COMPLETE! He blessed us with a beautiful life, He has answered our prayers, and I have never been happier to devote my life to Him...
I have to give thanks to my family, both old and new.
Our relationships have been far from perfect, but I am SO GRATEFUL to still have both parents in my life, both physically on this earth and their never-ending support. It isn't something that many people are fortunate enough to have. My parents raised their children to the best of their abilities, and I am forever grateful to have two parents who were present in my life.
I have to give a personal shout out to my Mama. She has helped me tremendously during my time of need. A true mother; my pillar of strength. I am so blessed to call her my Mama! 馃ス
I am so thankful for my Nana! She raised a big, beautiful family and filled them with God's message. I am extremely grateful for my Nana's spiritual influence, and it is a value I intend to pass on to my own children.
I am thankful for my husband, Terry. Not a day goes by where I don't recognize just how blessed I am to have met him when I did. What an absolute miracle it has been, to watch our love blossom into two beautiful children... Terry is my rock, and he has truly seen me at my worst! 馃槄 But I am so excited to be creating this life with him, to be embarking on this journey with him.
I am thankful for our children, and that the Lord has blessed me with the ability to be a vessel for these angels. Kiva and Riley have given me an entirely new purpose in my life; being a parent has opened my eyes to the unconditional love that God feels for each of us!
And, so long as God will allow it, we will hopefully be meeting Bean #3 this upcoming April... 馃挍馃寛
Of course, there are all of the other daily blessings that I'm thankful for... I am thankful to live in a beautiful country that allows me to have various freedoms. I am thankful to have access to everything that I need: food, water, a roof over our heads, a warm bed at night... I am thankful to raise our children in a safe environment. I am thankful for all of the opportunities that are available to me! 馃檹
