Counting my Blessings

I just want to start by wishing you all a very blessed and Happy Thanksgiving! I love taking a portion of time on this day each year to really think about all that I'm thankful for and have been blessed with. Here are the top 10 that I came up with today... Till next time

1. My Salvation- 
  Without The Lord taking control of my life and saving me on December 15, 2012, I would be      
    nothing. I'm so so thankful for the Lord's continual patience and saving grace in my life.
                                         John 5:30a. verse that showed me my need for
                                                                                                                                                      Christ

2. My Parents and Grandparents
       They are always there for me when I have a question, problem, or just to pray with me. I am
       continually thanking my Lord for blessing me with these very special people in my life.

3. Spending Time with my Sisters
     I love them with everything I have. They always are able to make me laugh. I am thankful for
every opportunity I get to spend time with them by watching a movie with them, painting  their nails, or trying out different hairstyles on them. They are 3 big blessing in my life.
                                      
4. My Friends
      I have been blessed with some pretty amazing friends. I know they are there for me and praying
      for me. They play such a big part in my life, that without them my life would be missing a big
      part.


5. Christmas Tree Farms
    There is something about driving past a Christmas tree farm that makes me all excited. My favorite holiday is Christmas, so when I think of a Christmas tree farm I think of an unending
Christmas. love the piney smell of the Christmas trees and their color green is so majestic looking.



    6. Sheep
         Yes, I know you're probably thinking, "Sheep?!?!" Yes, I love them. I know they can be "blonde" alright stupid at times. But there is something about them that makes me say, "Awwww!" I
love the picture that Jesus gave us concerning sheep... That if we are saved we are His sheep and He
is our Shepherd.



  
7. Quiet Mornings 
       I am such a morning person. My favorite part of the day is waking up early, drinking coffee, and spending time with God as the sun slowly rises to start a new day.

8. The Night Sky
     Looking up into the night sky and seeing the innumerable amount of stars and perhaps a full
moon, never ceases to amaze me.



9. Starbucks
    What is there not to love about Starbucks? My best memories of Starbucks is going there with my friends and spending hours on end just talking while we sip on our coffees. ;-) 



10. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
         Chocolate and Peanut Butter.... A Genius must have come up with this wonderful combination.     Seriously, these little individually wrapped presents are my ULTIMATE favorites. If I were deserted on an island and had to choose one thing to take with me, these would be one of my first choices lol

                                I hope you all have a very Blessed & Happy Thanksgiving!
