Who died a burtial death on an old rugged cross so that I might be forgiven for my sins and live forever with Him in Heaven.
Salvation... the peace of knowing God awaits me on the other side, He has prepared a place for me to spend eternity with Him and all that have gone before me. There will be no more sorrow, tears or pain.
Grace... I am very thankful for Grace...!
United States of America..... who even on its worst days, its better than living anywhere else in the world.
American Soldiers..... who fight for the freedom to write what I feel right now, sacrifice time away from family this holiday season, and who put their life on the line for mine. I am thankful for those that return home safely and respect those who died for the cause.
Freedom... to pray and worship and read my Bible with out the threat of prison or death.
Democracy.... the right to vote and be counted.
My health.... even with all the complications I have had this year, I'm not dead.
My husband.... who even on my worst days, loves me, over looks my faults and forgives me...
who has a heart for worship, and who is a man of integrity. I can't imagine life without him.
My daughter... Kayla, though I didn't give birth to her, she is the light of my life.
My church family.... a group of people I have come to respect, love and enjoy serving with. Godly people who love and serve God with zeal, and excitement.
My sisters.... 3 women that I admire, respect and love.
My family... a group of people that I couldn't have gotten through life without.
My friends... very special people that has blessed my life in ways I couldn't imagine.
Thank you for always standing beside me, even when it wasn't the easiest place to be...
when silence was golden, because words were unnecessary, when it could have been easier to stay away but instead you never left me alone. Thank you for sharing life with me and giving me another reason to look forward to another day.
My Children.... although they are no longer with me physically, I am grateful for their time on earth. Both of their lives had meaning, purpose, and a sense of accomplishment. They make me very proud to be called mother.

My Mother..... I am grateful for a mother who was a mentor to many, a friend to all, who's example of hard work, and love of life still lives on through her daughters. She was a wonderful example of endurance, laughter, love and descentency. She taught us to pray, work hard and love others more than we love ourself.
