Thankful Thursday

I decided that every Thursday I want to come up with a few things that I am thankful for. It's so easy to be negative and complain about life, but I want to change that. So here we go:

1. My two sweet little boys. They are healthy and happy...what more can I ask for. J is almost 3, and it's so easy for me to get caught up in the correcting so I'm really trying to praise the good behavior more.

2. My wonderful husband. He is a godly man who works hard and is always there for his family. We will be celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary in July.

3. I'm thankful for my parents. They are there for me when I need them, but don't push either. I'm also grateful for the times during my childhood that they said no. It's not easy when all the other parents are saying yes. What a great godly example!

4. I'm also thankful for my loving church "family" that has welcomed my husband, kids, and myself into the community when we moved up here almost five years ago. Without them I would have never survived up here in New England...okay that might be a bit dramatic, but you get my point.

The bible says: "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."

Colossians 4:1-3
