Today I am grateful for all that served or are currently serving in our Armed Services including my dad and granddad.  I am so grateful for the freedoms I have today because of these brave men and women.

I am grateful today for a lazy day of watching Christmas movies before Thanksgiving.  I have been under the weather all weekend and my daughter has kept me company while I cry through some of these tearjerkers.  Can’t wait until she and I can watch “Holiday Inn” and “White Christmas.”

Today I am thankful to live in the United States of America where we have the privilege of voting for our leaders. Even though the outcomes are not always the way I would want them this is still the best country in the world to live in.

Today I am thankful for my job in a time when so many are not so lucky. After 22 years I still enjoy it (most of the time)…:)

Today I am thankful for my church family, how they love and support us and how they serve helping to show others the love of Christ and carrying the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Today I am thankful for my children.  They have been a true blessing from God and I can’t imagine my life without them.  They bring joy (and tears) to my life.

Today I am thankful for my husband.  God knew exactly who I needed and I am thankful for his spiritual leadership in our family.

All over Facebook and Twitter people are posting one thing a day they are thankful for for the month of November.  I also saw this post today that made me think I should do the same, so here goes.

Today I am thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and through salvation the hope I have for eternal life.

Today is Columbus Day…which means I have the day off from work and I am home alone.  The kids are in school and the hubby is at work.  It is raining today which always makes me want to blog. Not sure why.  It also makes me lazy.

There are so many things on my To Do list but I am drawn to my coffee and the book I am reading.

It’s feeling like Fall today and I think some Taco Soup is in store for this weekend.
