Thankfulness!

Wow!! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. Where did the summer go? Did we even have a summer? I don't know. But what i do know is that we have an awesome God and he has provided for me in more ways then i even deserve.
This is the month where most people think about what they are thankful for. That makes me think about all that i have to be thankful for, and i am thankful for my God. That he sacrificed his only son for me. That again he has provided for me a great family and friends he has provided more then i can ever have imagined. What did i do to deserve this nothing,and i never will be worthy of that sacrifice. But yet he did it for me, that is so hard to believe sometimes. But yet why should it be? He is a loving God we all know this, but yet we also love. Would we be willing to make the same kind of sacrifice's that He has? No,I don't think so. So i am thankful for my God!
Yet these past few weeks have been very busy and dramatic ones for me and my family. We have been so busy. That i don't remember the last time we all sat at the table to eat together. Which maybe it should not have been a big deal to me, you would think, since the last four years before we moved in here we could not eat at a table together. Our house was to small. So since we have lived here, we have ate our meals as a family around the table. So i missed that, these past few weeks. So tonight as we finally sit around the table to eat, i told the kids that this month every time we sit at the table to eat we are each going to say something that we are thankful for. My oldest Landon started us off, he said that he was thankful for his Dsi( i think it was because he finally beat one of the bad guys), then James said Family, then Ariel said she was thankful for God sending his son. So i guess that is why i wrote up at the top what i did. But we all need to be thankful everyday of our lives what we have been given because God gave us our precious life and at any moment it can be taken away. So even though this is the month of thankfulness I am reminded that we need to remember to be thankful for everything all year through, not just one month. So that is my goal to not just have the kids go around this month but to try and do it each time whether its November or May. I know it won't happen all the time, but we can make the effort to do it most of the time. So i will end this little post by saying that i am thankful for, once again my God, my Family and all you wonderful Friends!! May God be with you and your family and pour blessings on you, as he has me and my family. So that you to, will have something to be thankful for all the year through.
