Thankful....

I have so many things to be thankful in my life...things and people that I take for granted on a daily basis!

I just want to say thank you for a few...
Cassie-my oldest...and my friend...a picture of sacrifical living...
Heather-my next...my unexpected gift...and also my friend...something that means very much to this momma and that girl!...a woman who loves Jesus...and loves to pour that into her babies...
Michael...although he is rough around the edges at times...he too I can call my friend....and with that "man" gene...my protector...a man I am witnessing first hand who is learning to love Jesus more and more!
Katie...my baby...who was loved Jesus longer that I have!...she is my hero...
My mom...who loves me even when I'm so unloveable...guess that is what us mommas are there for!!!
Tucker...who has been there for so many years now...I'd be lost without him...
Kevin...as children I thought we'd hate each other for life...we both would say that is so far from the truth now...the big brother I had all along and never appreciated it!
Steve and Patti...I'm so thankful for you, your sweet girls and their extended families...and the picture of sacrifice you paint for us...
Karen...I love you so much...wish I told you that more often
Betty Jo...my sister who I love so much...always been there for me...always...hope you know I'll be there for you too!!!
my neices and  nephews: Megan, Samantha, Cory, Amy, Chris, Hannah, Molly, Michal, Bethany, Mendi, Nikki, Kayla, Kyle, Ethan, Kendra, Garrett, Megan G., Kolby, Reagan, Tyler, Colten, Isaac, Chance, Blaine, Adyson and Sydnie...for that just right amount of spice you each add to the flavor of our family...
Scott's family...who again have loved me like their own...and I know I belong there now and forever...
Ayden Parker...my sweet oldest grandson who amazes me with his outlook on life...he has the most amazing stories!
Landon Ryan...my sweet little boy...my tiny one who is so sweet...he can melt this grammy's heart!
Camden Isaiah...my baby grand baby...for a little while longer anyways...the one I was afraid I'd never know really...never have "that" relationship with...the one I DO have it with...
Rylee Belle...our girl all by herself for a few more months until the princess jr joins us in Florida...she can smile and say grammy and it is like butter....
Caleb Michael...such a sweet boy...who loves to tell me...grammy, Jesus died on the cross and he is in our hearts...nothing better in life than hearing that from a baby's mouth!
my Dad...so thankful we realized we need each other in our lives...
Scott...my rock, my love...by best friend...my partner in this thing we call life...
Jesus...my Savior...who gave me each of the gifts above...

Why all this tonight....I've witnessed 3 lives changed this week for the kingdom...they will NEVER be the same again...Why God allows us to be a part of this and witness I'll never understand but I'm humbled by it and so very, very....thankful...
