Thankful Thursday

"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine"

Today is "Thankful Thursday"! Sometimes it is really hard to be thankful in the world we live in of "do everything right now, and make everyone happy". Let's admit it - it's more stressful being a 20-something adult in today's world/economy that it was a decage or two ago. It's so easy to get stressed out, and look at the things we don't have, or the things that didn't go right during the day. That's why I'm creating Thankful Thursday :)  To take a break and look at the things that you are thankful for - it really can change your whole outlook on life and you'll have a good day, I promise!

Today I am thankful for my husband, Jason. Out of all the people in the world, God chose me to be his wife. We've been married five and a half years, and have four beautiful children. I am thankful for him because of who God has made him to be. He works hard for our family so that I can stay home Tuesday's and Thursday's. Granted, he's not perfect, but he tries.

He spends quality time with the kids, making each one feel special. After a long day at work, he comes home and still plays games with Josh and Jenna. He sill finds time to cuddle with Julianna and Jayden. And he makes time to talk with me and listen.

This economy might be going south....we may never feel like we have "enough money".....we may be sleep-deprived, frustrated, overwhelmed parents at times....but in the end when our kids grow up and go away to college it's still us. And we're choosing to support one another and to do the best we can at raising our kids God's way.

What are you thankful for today?? (Don't forget to comment!)
