Today, I am thankful for my amazing family ... through the good times, and the not-so-good ones, you will always be my greatest accomplishment. I am thankful that my sweet, little girl survived what could have been the most catastrophic day of our lives - and for our Father, God, who sent an angel to soften her fall. I am thankful for my husband, who is my rock, who is always there to lean on and laugh with, who loves me for who I am - despite my flaws. For my parents, who raised me to be the person that I am today - independent, strong, confident - and for always believing in me, even when I don't believe in myself. I am thankful for the United States Armed Forces, who spend every single day of their lives defending this wonderful nation, without regard to their personal feelings, hopes, dreams, wishes, etc. Thank you for putting our country, my family and every other American family and citizen ahead of your own families - and their wants and needs, and your own - so that we ALL may be safe, and can celebrate Thanksgiving the way that our founding fathers anticipated. Most of all, I am thankful for my life - my health, my family, my job, my friends, and my faith - and everything in it that truly makes it a blessing to be alive.
Here's hoping that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day, spent with family, friends, and those you are closest to. I know for our family, it wasn't the most traditional of Thanksgiving Days, but at the end of the day, I am thankful that I was able to share it with the ones that I love - near or far ... and I am thankful for my faith, because if it wasn't for faith in God, I certainly would not have made it through the past few years to a much better happier place.
In Better Hands - Natalie Grant
you are very blessed!
