Thankfulness

It's the month for thankfulness. I love it.
Psalm 147:7
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp
.
Here are the words to my song of thanksgiving today.
Recognition of my need for a Savior,
Grateful that Jesus called me to Him when I was young,
Thankful that He walks this life with me,
Security in knowing that there is more than this life,
Being married to the person I still want to talk to more than anyone else in the world,
Seeing my love for him walk around our home,
Watching Reagan learn what she likes and doesn't like,
Samuel's ability to learn,
A peaceful home where there are calm conversations,
Remembering this time last year talking about a bad economy and making plans for business adventures,
Realizing that this has been a great year,
Knowing, again, that God holds all things in hand,
All things....the good and the bad,
Being ok with that,
And thankful for being ok with that,
Loving cool mornings and warm afternoons,
Seeing people who were once so overcome with hurt that they couldn't see past the moment,
Hearing them laugh in my office,
Knowing that this love for the romantic was birthed in my heart as a child,
Thankful that years of life haven't stolen it
Being thankful is good. Thanks, November for the reminder!
