i'm thankful for...
a mom(my sunshine) and a dad(my shining armor)
step-parents who take us under their wings as their own
brothers and sisters who drive us mad but have sometimes been our best friends
nieces and nephews and cousins and grandparents
for children who, if we allow them bring us back down to earth and exude goodness and innocence
for love lost love found and love all around, and for times of loneliness
for mercy grace peace joy hope forgiveness brokenness compassion
for strangers who get just a glimpse
for room-mates and late night talks <3
for small acts of kindness
for risks and rewards, for mistakes and for success
for friends and for the things they teach you and the laughter they bring into your life
for the old and new, and the loyal and the true
for freedom, so often taken for granted and a country free to worship God
for health and a home
for sleep, rest is survival
for struggling but being independent
for a damn good meal or a delicious cup of coffee or wine :)
for writing, for those who wanna listen anyway when you got somethin to say
for music, for a lyric you relate too or some amazing instrumentals
for books, for education and the opportunity to pursue dreams
for fashion and photography and the opportunities that technology gives us to keep in touch
for pets and animals that show us the simplicity of how the world goes round in their lifestyles
for flowers and blue skies, for rainfall and clouds, mountains, cities & beaches
for voices and being able to express them and bear our souls
for traveling and life outside our bubbles
for lessons learned
for possibilities, second chances, new beginnings and happy endings
for jobs and working hard, and playing harder. ( and praying :)
for fear and for trials and for changes; for the strength to overcome them
for moments of pure joy and days of sadness
for seasons
for laughter, the best feeling in the world
for tears to keep us in check
for sillyness and sappy stuff
for times that remind us that maybe we don't have it so bad
for this one life and the chance to live it
....for those times we forget to tell someone just how much they mean to us before its too late
for memories and experiences that shape us as people and create these lives we have so much to be grateful for lets make the BEST OF THEM......
"promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance"
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
For flowers that bloom about our feet;For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;For song of bird, and hum of bee;For all things fair we hear or see,Father in heaven, we thank Thee!~Ralph Waldo Emerson
O Lord that lends me life,Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.~William Shakespeare
“If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” Mother Teresa quotes
As we look forward to freedom, the shining city on the hill and the best days of America lying ahead, it is the men and women in uniform who protect, defend and make us proud to whom we should look and give thanks every night. Robin Hayes
- Psalm 107:1 (NIV) "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine. Thomas Jefferson
