give thanks to the Lord, for He is good
Psalm 136 tells us to "give thanks to the Lord, for He is good- His love endures forever." The chapter goes on to give a list of thankfulness. So, on this day, the day of eating turkey, watching football and playing ridiculous board games I want to stop and give thanks. Thanks to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, the One from Whom all blessings flow- and let's face it, we have all been blessed, no matter how much or little we have!
My Jesus- He loved me. He saved me. He is walking beside me through each and every step of this journey of life that I am walking in. Countless times He has lifted me from the miry pit, setting my feet upon the solid rock. If you don't know him, you should really check Him out.
My sweet husband- As I like to tell him when I'm joking with him- "eyes wide open..." He fell in love with me and married me knowing my quirks- like my need to listen to the same song on repeat for days, or to spend money on ridiculous things, or... well, you get the idea. He is the rock of our family, and a man who desires to be more like Christ with every breath he takes and I know he will strive to love me with Christ's love as long as we live.
John Mark- what can I say? He is the most beautiful, special, precious boy in the whole world. I have fallen so completely in love with him. I just didn't see how it could be true that one tiny person takes hold of your life and completely changes you... but it is!! I can't even remember my life before John Mark. Just last night, Micah and I were wondering what we did before our crazy little man was around to entertain us every night. My heart is complete with this kid around.
My amazing family- I count myself so ridiculously blessed, and one of the biggest blessings in my life is the legacy of faith that I have the honor of being a part of. My family paved the path that I have walked with prayers and lessons about the One who makes life matter. My family has loved me unwaveringly and I couldn't love them more.
My beautiful friends- near and far, old and new... each and every one of you brings out a different aspect of my personality and makes me more of who I am. I know that I couldn't make it without you. You have 
spurred me on to a Christ-filled life. We have laughed, cried, watched movies, taken road trips, had babies, sang, danced, cooked dinner, shopped... so many different things. And I wouldn't give the world for the memories we have made. I love each of you with every bit of my heart.

I have so many other things to be thankful for, and I would go on and on for the rest of time and never be thankful enough. So I will end by saying that I am thankful for EVERY aspect of my life- both the good and bad. And I am thankful for each and every one of you. You have touched my life in some way, and I am better because of it.
His love endures forever.
