THANKSGIVING

My mom cooked Thanksgiving dinner this year.  It was amazing.  The turkey was tender and moist, the trimmings were absolutely delicious, and the desserts were incredible.  Everything was hot and on the table all at one time - a miracle, in my opinion.  I can never do that.  I always have something that is cold or not quite finished.  I told her after this year, she needs to enter a cook-off with my Grandma White because she absolutely nailed that dinner.  It was to die for.  Honestly. 

Even though Thanksgiving has passed, I wanted to list a few things for which I am grateful.  I was sitting in church yesterday and thought of a number of things that I typically take for granted, but I am so thankful to have.  

--A working, capable body.  It's far from perfect and larger than I prefer! but I do have working hands, arms, and legs.  I am so thankful that I am able to pick up my kids to give them a hug, or carry them into bed if they fall asleep in ours, without any sort of struggle.

--Acute senses of sight, smell, touch, sound, and taste.
--Smart, thoughtful, lovable, confident, healthy children.  They are the greatest.
--An extremely hard-working, gentle husband who is a wonderful example to our children. 
--The greatest parents and siblings. 
--The relationships my children have with their grandparents.  My kids love both of their grandmas and grandpas more than anything and I am so thankful that relationship is there.
--Food storage.
--Church.
--House.
--Car.
--Gas.
--Electricity.
--Technology.

I am so spoiled, and I am so thankful for it.
