It's Great to be Grateful

How's that for a nice title, eh? I have no shame in the cheesy department. Me and the cheese are friends. 

Honestly though, I am so grateful. And I have so many reasons to be. 

I have a roof over my head.... and under that roof a lot of things to keep me cozy, well fed, clean, comforted, and satisfied. 

I have a generous, caring, hard-working, loving, dedicated husband... who also happens to father my children in the ways I always hoped for when thinking of my future family. 

I have the most beautiful, silly daughter, that is bringing a big grin to my face as I write this. She is so tender-hearted, loving, wild, silly, sweet, caring, interested, thoughtful, cuddleable (yes, it's true!), and did I say silly??, two-year-old I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. 

I have the sweetest, fiestiest, cuddliest (yep, doing it again), smiley, trusting, loving, adventerous, daring, giggly, bundle of a one year old that always keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh daily. 

I have family that live mere minutes away from me if ever I need them, or get to see them, at any given time. 

I have a nice car that keeps me and the kids feeling safe and able to transport wherever we need to go, whether for errands, or taking fun trips to the zoo. I realize even the "small" things like this don't happen in every family, but I am so very grateful. Even when it means a wrench is thrown  in my day when a big rock cracks my windshield... and I am glad that's over with now. :)

I have a loving, compassionate, never-changing, faithful, righteous, all powerful Savior, who chose me long before I chose Him -- and he continues to choose me even when I feel.... well, unchoosable. Oh yes, there are made up words all over this post. 

What are you grateful for?
