Thankful

I feel beyond blessed with what the Lord has given me! A wonderful husband who works hard to provide for me and the girls! He's an incredible father and not afraid to jump in and change a dirty diaper or help put Leeana to bed. I'm thankful for the home we live in, that we have more than the "average" person, and I'm beyond thankful for the little things we take for granted like water, AC, a bed, clothes, food, etc. I'm thankful for family who steps in to help when you can't do it all yourself. My mama has been my rock this last month since having Olivia. She's driven so many hours to come to our house, watch the kids, help clean our home, prepare meals, as allowing me to rest as I've recovered! I'm thankful for my church family whose given us many meals as we've transitioned into a family of 4, and I've been recovering. Ready made dinners has been a huge blessing beyond belief! I'm thankful to be a mom to two beautiful girls! Leeana has transitioned into a big sister so smoothly! She's such an incredible helper and doing so well in not taking things out on the baby, or being jealous as I hear happens a lot. Olivia has been amazing and has been the easiest addition! She's so content. She loves to eat, but prefers to sleep! Quite a blessing to have a good sleeping baby at just a month old. It's been quite an easy adjustment which I'm so thankful for because it's helped me to recover quickly from my c-section. Last, but not least, I'm thankful for my salvation! What a blessing it is to be in Christ Jesus and to have comfort in my eternal salvation! Knowing that I'm a wretch sinner, and that God chose me before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) is such a huge blessing because I don't deserve it! What a gift it is! 

Take a look today at things around you and remember what things you're thankful for. We all have so much to be thankful for, and many times forget to acknowledge it. Take a moment today to acknowledge what you're thankful for!
