Well, I have had this blog for 2 years now! My first entry was November 28, 2005. I listed all the things I was thankful for. I am going to do that again.
I am thankful for my husband who is the best partner I could have in life. Kristin-my first baby who is growing up and will leave soon. I can't believe it is almost time. She is beautiful, talented and funny and an interesting person! Korie is the sweetest person in the world and she teaches me something about life every day.
I am thankful for my home, my church/school family who are showing their love for us by helping us purchase a van...Highest Praise and how we support each other and love each other. For email to keep in touch with mom, Tom and Steve and my old friends. For Ohio State sports..I have watched, enjoyed and loved the basketball and football program since I can remember. For the FFF Forum and the new friends I have made there. For the gift of music and the joy that it brings me and how it allows me a way to praise God.
For family who accepts me and loves me...my two brothers are the best brothers I could have. For the legacy that I have through my parents and my ancestors. I am thankful for my dishwasher, washer and dryer and oven...I don't take them for granted! For my eyesight and for hearing and the ability to walk where I need to go. For doctors and specialists who kept Korie with us and continue to care for her. For shunts and wheelchairs and catheters to make life better. For laughter and family time...for dinners and holidays.
For my pastor and for the women in my life that I look up to and teach me.....Bebe, Chris, and Elsie. For Beth Moore who gave me a love for the bible. For the men who have taught me the bible to help me grow...David Wilson, Billy Graham, Lee Roberson, and Jim Cymbla. I am thankful for bodies of water because when I am near them, not only do I delight in their beauty but I find peace of mind. For my Bible Study ladies and the joy we take in spending time together learning God's word. For my three friends...of which I am four...you know who you are. What a ride! For my new neighbor and very good friend, Rebecca and the encouragement she is to me. To my circle ladies who have always been there for me and who I know I can trust.
For the contentment I have found in Christ. I know that I don't have to perform or be a certain way or look a certain way or work myself to death in order for Him to love me or accept me. He cares about me and my relationship to Him and He wants me to be closer to Him. That has brought me more joy and peace than I could ever imagine.
For the stars that are always in the sky...I love them so much. For the color of leaves in fall...I drive around just to look at you. And for sunshine that gleams off of the water. For the sound of the soldiers on Mulberry Island as they practice defending us and the sound of the fighter jets going over my house. For the men and women who allow their loved ones to leave them and go overseas to protect the USA. Many are gone over a year...I can't imagine. For the ones they leave behind and the courage they show me.
For special days...I love fireworks on the 4th, the Grand Illumination at Christmas and the lights on homes, for the bands that play on Memorial Day and the day of singing how Christ Arose. I love those things. I love watching my daughter play team ball...she is such a team player and she is so good. I wonder how someone who belongs to me can be so talented. I love how she plays with her whole heart and takes it so serious. I love to hear Korie belly laugh..there is no greater sound in the world. I love it when the 4 of us are sitting at our table eating together. I love it when the 4 of us are in our van going somewhere together...just us. I love it when Kris is in the kitchen helping me clean up. I love it when she comes over and puts her arms around me. I am thankful for Victory Junction and how we feel like a normal family there. How Korie looks there because she never stops smiling and she knows she is loved and accepted. I love how she LOVES NASCAR because it has made such a difference in her life.
I am thankful when Steve comes home from work and his day has been good but he is thankful to be home. We are all there together. It is peaceful and quiet. I also love being home alone and listening to the quietness. But I don't want it to stay that way!
I am thankful for poetry, newspapers, cds, cell phones, libraries, choirs, concerts, gum, pizza, chinese and mexican food, baths, lotions, jokes, and a good movie. I am thankful I have made it to my age but I don't relish getting older but it is better than the alternative so I am thankful for each day. My life is a blessings. Thank you God...most of all...for YOU!!! I love you!
