Thankful...

I would like to say Happy Thanksgiving to you all! As I sit thinking about all my blessings, and all I have to be thankful for I realize there's no way I could ever count them all. God has been so good to me, and I can never thank him enough. I would however like to make a small list of things I'm thankful for today: 1. I'm thankful for Jesus death on the cross, and that the Great God of the universe unselfishly gave His Son to die for me, knowing I could never fully comprehend or appreciate his sacrifice. 2.I'm thankful for the Lord bringing Jeremy into my life. I could not ask for anyone who I'd rather spend my life with. The experiences that we've had so far in our marriage have only helped us to grow closer and realize that together we are enough. -and if God chooses to bless us with a child we will only be more grateful and thankful for that blessing- 3. I'm thankful for my infertility, (I know it sounds crazy) if you had given me the choice before to go through this trial I would have said "NO WAY!!!" Now, though I look back through all the trials and emotions and hurt and see if I had not been at this place I don't think I would have taken the time to see how much I need God in my life. My life has been so good, that I doubt I would have really learned to leave things with God (sometimes it's still a struggle) and trust that "he works all things for the good to them that love him". 4. I'm thankful that today we will go to my Mom's for dinner and my family will be all together. Those of you who know my family intimately know we've had some tough times lately, but I can say that God has given grace, and although things are not what I believe they'll be one day our family is reunited with the lost ones, and I can say God has healed alot of the hurt. 5. I'm thankful for my friends, all of you who have read my little posts, and encouraged me. I know you have your busy lives, and your own troubles, and the last thing we want to do sometimes is take on someone else's burden. I appreciate so much that you care about me and are praying and pulling for me and Jeremy. There's no way I could have made it through this without all of you. I'm thankful for memories past with some of you, and memories that we all will make in the future. I hope you have a wonderful day and that you will also be reminded that God is good, and though we look so many times to others to compare God's blessing we only need to look inward to see his provision and his great goodness to us.
