Tonight I come to my precious God with a heart full of gratefulness and praise. The list is endless for all the people and things I am grateful for, but there have definitely been a few that stood out this year more than others. We have our daily routines and schedules that seem to sweep us away from even the thought of being alive and breathing every day. It is unfortunate that I personally forget in the midst of life to really take in every minute as we do not know how much time we have with our loved ones. Today, I am above and beyond grateful for my family and the new life that is kicking as I type this journal. What an awesome feeling to have a living soul moving and kicking inside of you. I couldn’t help but to think this morning how God worked His miracles of creating life and even though it comes at a very painful price, there is nothing more worth it. I am thankful for my amazing and loving husband that stays by my side through good and bad, I am thankful for our precious daughter Isabella that has been nothing but an absolute joy to us. What an honor to raise a child and what a challenging job at the same time, I thank God for this opportunity every day. I am especially thankful for my priceless parents this year; God is very gracious and has blessed me with them abundantly. I cannot think of better role models. I thank God for giving us trials where we are constantly aware of who is in control. He has some remarkable ways of doing that and the bottom line is Faith, Trust and Prayer. I thank God for one of the most challenging but rewarding years.
We celebrated this l holiday with both families, Barry’s and mine. It was joy to get together and share the most delicious meal and to hear what each heart was thankful for. You can’t help it but just sit in that moment and be joyous and grateful for every person and every event that took place in their life.
