Grateful...

My dear friend Beth did a blog post on things she is grateful for. I am going to do that now and I hope when my girls are older they will read this and think of all the things they have in their lives to be grateful for. Even the small things because sometimes it those small things you should be most grateful for.

My husband. For treating me well, for standing by me, for supporting me, for loving me unconditionally, for standing by my side when all my baggage came a knocking and for excepting me for who i am good and bad.
For my daughters. They gave me second chance at this Mom stuff and a chance to do it right even though i am not perfect all the time. But most of all for being healthy beautiful girls.
For all my other children for helping make me who I am today for being the beautiful people they are and the love they have brought into my life.
For my few true friends who I would do anything for and who also accept me for who I am.
For my trip to Kansas and the second chance I gave God because of that trip and also for the amazing lady who lives there.
For Shelley who always waited for me to be ready to go back to church and was there to take me.
For the amazing adventure that will be July. Meeting my 4 kids again and getting to see my dear friend Beth and meet her amazing family before they leave for Africa.
For my new house. My dream house that just happens to come with everything I have ever wanted a house to have. Funny how things work out.
For Facebook because it lets me vent and look like a nut job.
For our security for not having to worry everyday what we will eat or how we will survive.
For EVERY adventure that has been my life without them I wouldnt have become the strong lady I am today and for that I am very very grateful.
For my mother for teaching me kindness and love and the joy of other people.
For my sister for rescuing me
Most of all for God and the lessons he has taught me. For making me survive and giving me all this knowledge and strength. For loving me always and for always being there even when i wasnt there for him. Thanks for never giving up on me. I look forward to seeing how you are going to use me and I welcome it with a open heart and complete trust in you.
