Yard Sale Princess

I am thankful that I have a husband who will listen to my crazy double talk and rants and raves as I talk in circles about the “stress” in my life. He will listen and offer advice and support me when I finally make my choices and never complain that the dishes weren’t done when he came home from a long day at work. I just love that man.

I am grateful for a wonderful husband who is so helpful and has been so understanding during this pregnancy.

I am grateful for waking up each morning on this wonderful planet.

I am thankful for my family, my grandchildren and my pets.

I am immensely grateful for nurturing friends.

I am grateful to have 30 wonderful years with my wife.

I am grateful for my family and to be able to stay home with them even though we don’t have the finer things in life. Thanx for the contest.

I am grateful for living in the most lovely place…where there are birds chirping every morning and flowers in bloom and butterflies soaring… I am lucky yes–but most of all: very grateful.

I am grateful that my children and grandchildren live close to me. I couldn’t stand it if I couldn’t see my favorite people in all the world as often as I do.

I am greatful for my family especially my two wonderful boys.

Christi

I’m extremely grateful for my health and for the good health of my loved ones. We are currently praying for healing for my father, for he has an aneurysm that needs to be repaired, but it will require open heart surgery to fix it. It has made me more aware of how we don’t have the promise of a tomorrow, so we need to live and love to the best of our ability today!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I am grateful for good friends annd family.

117

Of course I am grateful my my wonderful family (children, husband, parents, etc.) they are what I live for each and every day, but even great than that I am grateful to be alive, to be walking and talking with both hands and both feet, being able to see and hear, and never take any of that for granted! There is so much tragedy and horror in this world and sometimes people forget to focus on the simple things like being able to see and hear, being able to walk and write with a pen, those are the greatest gifts and if you watch the news, there are many that can’t do those very simple things because of war and tragedy! Be thankful and grateful, and the rest of the joy life has to bring will follow!

I am thankful for whatever guiding force in my life that leads me on the path I have chosen. I’m grateful for my love, and my passion, and my enthusiasm. I’m grateful for my ability to accept my flaws and learn from them, and from my ability to, at length, understand that those who turn me away because of my flaws turn away most of what makes me as strong as I am. I am grateful to have the friends I have who love me for all of me, and who nurture and protect me, and who push me to be better than I think I can be because they know it is still not as good as I can become.

I am grateful to have however many days left as I do, and for have been given the chance to do good for the world.

Elizabeth

Do I have to mention just one thing? I can’t. So maybe that’s what I’m most grateful for: having an abundance of blessings!
* Negative test results. * Baby belly laughs. * Health. * God giving me the blessing of holding my children each day, when others’ arms are empty. * Freedom. * Babies who sleep through the night. * Buying breakfast for the car behind me at McDonald’s. * The joy on my daughter’s face when she steps off the bus and runs to my arms. * Knowing my husband’s love is an extension of God’s love for me, and that God put him in my life to show me what unconditional is all about. * Air conditioning. * Laughter. * Being able to remember certain things in my past without crying anymore. * Passion. * Faith. * Loyalty. * Amazing friends who come and go in my life and teach me more about myself. * Sacrifices my parents made that helped me become who I am today. * The ability to pay back the debt I owe my parents – but to pay it forward instead. And knowing that they’re proud of me and watching over me.

P.S. I loved your lactose intolerance post. It made me laugh out loud!

I am grateful for each day the Lord grants me to bless my family and cherish the precious things they do.

I encourage my family to speak and write of their gratitude to others who impact their lives. I still thank my hubby for going to work to provide for us and he still thanks me each night for dinner. It is the simple things such as this that help us feel valued in the eyes of one another.

Thank you for this opportunity!

I am greatful for my “hard work’n hubby”. He busts his bottom EVERYDAY at work and then comes home and still finds time to play with pur four kids, help with the supper dishes, mowing the lawn, scrubbin floors and vacuuming. (and yes, sometimes it is ALL IN A DAYS WORK). Never (well, hardly never) a gripe out of his mouth. Couldn’t do it without him.
Happy day.

There are so many things I’m grateful for. We were at a baseball game the other night and we saw a mother walking her son by. He was in his 20s, I would guess and had Downs.
