Thankfulness

Thanksgiving is a holiday that gives us a perfect opportunity to remember all the things we have to be thankful for.
So here's my list - I'm thankful.....

that deer season is OVER!! I put up 5 deer and am tired of looking at deer meat! :)

that my family has been mostly healthy - no flu, no H1N1, no serious illnesses or injuries

that I have a flock of chickens laying almost a dozen eggs a day, 6 calves growing a little every day, 4 ducks driving me crazy, and 3 cats that keep the mice out of my house! I love animals and have been so excited to have a farm!!

that heating my house is SO cheap and easy because it is SO small!! and that I don't have to change $35 air conditioner filters anymore!

that I live in a country where I am free to worship my God, my way, and can be thankful for even (stupid) little things!

that God has abundantly provided for our needs - we have a warm home to live in, a farm that we dreamed of, enough money to put clothes on our backs and food in our bellies, and a wonderful family to spend time with.

for my wonderful husband who works so hard to provide financially for us.

for my 3 children who are smart, healthy, and beautiful!

for YOU!! That you come read my blog and care about what I have to say! That I can use my blog to express my opinions and talk about what I care about (and make enough money to pay my Directv bill!!)

Have a blessed Thanksgiving and please don't let this holiday be the only opportunity you take to be thankful for what you have!!
