FFF "Thankfulness"

This week's theme for Favorite Friday Foto is suppose to be about thankfulness. (I'm publishing this a day early since it's Thanksgiving Day.) If you'd like to read and see more about thankfulness, check out Sara's blog. I put some thought into this week's theme. So often I find myself taking things for granted, I get so wrapped up in my life that I don't verbalize very often about the things that I am truly thankful for.

My husband, without him and his love or his true acceptance of me and all of my faults, I wouldn't be sitting here typing on this blog. We wouldn't have our little Tabitha. He had wanted to adopt for quite awhile, but I was scared. Scared I would be told no we couldn't adopt, scared we wouldn't be able to afford it, scared I was too old to raise a child. He was patient, understanding and turned it over to God. It wasn't immediate, it took awhile before I heard God talking to my heart, but Tim was there the whole time trusting God.

My mother, without her love and support (both emotionally and at times monetarily) I wouldn't have my beautiful little Guatemalan princess. You see, Mom helped us with coming up with the money to pay for the adoption.

Speaking of that little Guatemalan princess, I am SO thankful that we have her, she has brought much joy in our lives! I am truly thankful that she is at home here in the USA for the Thanksgiving holiday. Last Thanksgiving I spent the better part of the day sicker than I care to remember---we were in Guatemala and we ALL had what I believe was rotovirus---the worse case of stomach flu you could ever want---not!

I'm thankful for having a job even when it drives me crazy!

I'm thankful for a little sense of humor, it helps keep life more enjoyable.

Most of all I am thankful I was brought up in a Christian home, taught about Jesus, and accepted him as my personal saviour.
I leave you with a few images:

Happy Thanksgiving!
