Open your mouth and begin to thank God for his grace towards you. Thank him for every good thing that he has brought into your life. Thank him, thank him and thank him again. Joy is the result of a thankful heart. A thankful heart is the result of a person who decides to give thanks. So say, "Thank you God for. . ."
So that is what I'm doing tonight. I'll share a few of them here, but I'll continue throughout this night until I fall asleep to thank God for all the things he has given me and done in my life.
- I'm thankful I have an aunt who loves me enough to recommend this book to me and who gave me her copy to read.
- I'm thankful for a husband who shows me everyday in his own little ways how much he loves me.
- I'm thankful for three beautiful children who greet me with so much love and enthusiasm each evening when I get home
- I'm thankful for a husband who is so committed to my children and what is best for them.
- I'm thankful for a husband who is so stubborn that he has not given up on us or our marriage, no matter how ugly and difficult it has been at time over the past 13 years.
- I'm thankful for a husband who makes it very clear that he still finds me attractive after 13 years and some extra pounds (I'm not giving that number away!)
- I'm thankful that my daughter is a daddy's girl, just like I was growing up and I'm thankful that she has a wonderful loving father. I still remember as soon as we found out that we were having a girl, Shaun stopped on the way home by Babies R Us and bought an outfit that said "Daddy's Girl" for her to wear home from the hospital.
- I'm thankful to see how much my boys look up to their father, how much they watch all that he does and try to imitate him.
