i am thankful for...

a husband that adores me for, not inspite of, all of my flaws
a daughter that has the capacity to love so many with seemingly endless measure
a son whose joy is wonderfully contagious
a father who hugs me and reminds me that i am still a little girl
a mother who hugs me and reminds me that i am a woman
a brother that inspires me to live up to his respect
a brother that teaches me that life is full of cycles
a sister that has wisdom beyond her years
neices that teach me that the world is broader than my scope
a mother and father-in-law that teach me love is not conditional
a job that forces me to realize that influence is a daily responsibility
friends that love me inspite of my selfishness
friends that force me to move out of selfishness
relationships that constantly remind me of the goodness and redeeming powers of Jesus Christ
a woman who has taught me what true faith looks like
a God who has the power and the heart to orchestrate our lives to be rich and fulfilling beyond all reason...


happy thanksgiving...
