I am thankful for . . .

So many things. My God who loves me in spite of my shortcomings. My husband who does the same. Our children who forgive instantly. Servicemen and women (like my brother) who are far from their families for the holidays this year. Other people with a servant's heart (like my sister) helping others in far away places. (Incidentally, she is now making her way back to the states as I type.) I am thankful for a roof over my head and food on the table, and everything else is a luxury that I pray I will never take for granted. And finally I am thankful for our entire extended family, all over the nation, for their unconditional love and support.
