There are so many things to be thankful for in life. I don’t want to fall into the trap of taking everything for granted.
While we have had a pretty tough week with being sick and cooped up because of battling colds, I have so much to be thankful for.
That is why I have decided to join in a new blog meme….Thankful Thursday. Thankful Thursday is usually hosted by Grace Alone. This week, Laurie at Women Taking a Stand is hosting Thankful Thursday.
Anyway, let’s move on to the things that I am most thankful for today….
- I am thankful for the arrival of Spring weather! It has been a long, cold, dreary winter in Baumholder, but finally the weather is starting to get warmer and the sun is showing it’s beautiful face!! I am so ready to make daily trips to the playground with the kids.
- I am thankful that the end of this deployment is near. We are coming upon the one year anniversary of the deployment (Keith left mid-April) with only a couple months left to endure. We are starting to plan welcome home festivities and that is just so exciting!
- I am thankful for a husband that is constantly encouraging me. When I feel like I am at the end of my rope, he knows exactly what to say to keep me going and motivate me.
- I am thankful for friends near and far who are supportive in their comments and well-wishes.
- And lastly, I am thankful for Nyquil….ha! I am starting to breathe much better and feel more rested.
As we spend another day at home recovering from (hopefully) our last cold of the winter season, I am going to remember to be thankful for all of our many, many blessings.
What are you thankful for today?

I have a son who has been overseas for the past year also and we are creeping up on his return home so I totally understand the celebration that is going on in your heart and in your home. God bless you today on this beautiful day the Lord has made! Happy TT! -Laurie
