Thankful Thursday

Almost every time I start to pray,

I begin by saying something along the lines of,

"God, thank you for Your love,

thank you for my husband, and my baby boy;

thank you for all You've done for me,

and for all that You're going to do."

If you've read some of my Thankful Thursday posts,

you'll see that there's a theme.

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband,

and to have been given the gift

of being able to carry our healthy, beautiful son

inside my body. What a miraculous thing!

These are the thoughts that dwell at the forefront of my mind

on this Thankful Thursday.

Of course, I am thankful for more than just these things,

but whenever I sit down to write a Thankful Thursday post,

these are the thoughts that come flooding out first.

Aside from the obvious though,

here are some things I am thankful for today:

Cool autumn mornings...

The bright pops of color that are slowly emerging

from the masses of trees that stubbornly hold on

to their summery green leaves...

Spontaneous trips to the movies on a Tuesday...

All things pumpkin...

My hilarious, amazing, incredible parents and siblings...

Finding great bargains on eBay...

and cheesy Halloween movies on TV.

These are a few of my favorite things right now.

And for all of them, and so much more, I am thankful.

What are you thankful for?
