Thursday Thanks Tank
I saw this banner on a friend's blog a while back and loved the artwork on it. Reminds me of an abandoned gas station I once photographed south of New Braunfels, Texas. Anyway, since I've been counting down to Thanksgiving with what I'm thankful for, I thought I'd use this banner today and come up with the Top 10 Things for which I Am Thankful.
.
1. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't have faith in God. I don't think anything would be the same. I wouldn't have the same friends, I wouldn't be as close to my family (who all have a strong faith), I wouldn't be raising my children the same way. For that matter, I wouldn't even have these children... because I met my husband in a Christian Coffeehouse online!
2. I can hardly believe I have been married to my husband for almost 10 years already, but at the same time it's like we've always been together. I am so thankful that God saw fit to reach down and help us out of the mess that was "us" after the first year of marriage.
3. Even though he scribbled on the screen of my laptop with a ball point pen today, I am thankful for David. He is growing so fast, I am so thankful for the time I have with him.
4. Peek-a-boo, giggles & squeals. That's Elizabeth. I fall more & more in love with her every day. She is so full of personality and I am amazed by her every day, too.
5. My parents have always been supportive of me, but now they've gone beyond what I ever expected by happily welcoming me back home. I brought a husband, 2 kids, 3 cats and too much stuff back into their house & they seem to be enjoying it. I am very thankful for them & for them letting us live here for the time being.
6. For the rest of the family, both mine & Dad's, I am also thankful. Siblings, aunts & uncles, grandparents, cousins, nieces & nephews... it's great (and busy) to be a part of a big family!
7. I got to talk to my best friend on the phone yesterday. Between that and the friends that came to Dad's graduation, I feel so blessed.
8. I am so thankful that I can enjoy God's creation. Whether walking to the mail box or petting a cat, everything that God made makes me thankful.
9. Sleep is often interrupted for this mom, so when I get a good night's sleep, I am very thankful!

My hubby and I met on a Christian site too. People who know us now would never guess since we are so perfectly matched. Who says God can't work thru modern technology?!?
I love that you did this! I wish I had more time to really keep it up the way I want to. Half of the time I end up starting it on Thursday but end up with a Thursday Thanks Tank post on Sunday! It really makes you think and I, too, loved the little picture.
I loved reading your list! I need more lessons in crunchiness. I'm trying to get there but it's kind of hard for me. I'm now a babywearer in every way. I'm hooked! But the whole cloth diapering thing I've still got to get up the courage to do. And I may come looking for you when Gavin starts babyfood. I made a ton of Garrett's but fine tuning is still desperately needed!
