Thankfulness

As I reflect on this year I am constantly reminded of the blessings that God has given me. When I think of the things for which I am thankful, every single one of those things has been given to me by God. This year has been a year of testing and trials, but through it all my Father has been there every moment. Some of the things I am thankful for...

• My Savior and the gift of eternal life.
• An amazing family. I have a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally and I have been blessed with some pretty great kids:)
• Madeylyn. I am thankful that God did not allow Madelyn to be taken from us early in the pregnancy. We almost lost her, but he spared her life...for a while. Because of that, we had the privilege of meeting her before we had to say goodbye. I can't even put into words how much meeting her meant to us and how it changed our lives.
• My church family. They really are like my own family and I can't imagine having to go through what he have this year without them.
