Just feeling thankful

For every toothless smile
Every surprise hug from behind
Every silly face in a picture
I'm so thankful

For every long winded story
Every "hold you mommy"
Every sentence that makes no sense
I'm so thankful

For every day he comes home
Every conversation good or bad
Every hug and kiss
I'm so thankful

For every breathe He took on earth
Every sin forgiven
Every time He shows me grace
I'm so thankful

For every time he says, "I love you."
Every time they say, "I love you, Mama."
Every time He reminds me of His love
I'm so thankful

Today I'm feeling so thankful for all I have been blessed with. There are so many people going through hard times right now. In comparison, I've got nothing to complain about and everything to be thankful for. Thank you Lord for giving me such an amazing, loving, sweet family. I can 't get enough of them:) Thank you that we will be celebrating your birth in a few days. Without your birth and death on the cross, there would be no salvation. Without salvation there would be no hope. Thank you for giving us hope. Thank you that I don't have to rely on just doing good to get into heaven. At my best, I am nothing but filthy rags. Thank you for saving me.
