The past year has been a difficult one for many. Lots of families are struggling financially, lost loved ones, are in ill health and many families are in the fight of their life simply to bring their children home from overseas.
On Thanksgiving, it is important to count our blessings and recognize the positives as there are always positives if you truly search.
I am thankful for the following:
My son and the good choices he makes on a daily basis. It has been a struggle in teaching him that following others actions are not always the best choice. He has worked really hard and I'm so proud.
My daughter. It was not long ago that I wondered if she would ever come home and my heart and prayers truly go out to those families waiting. She has endured more than and child should ever have to and she's thriving. So proud of your accomplishments sissy.
My husband. You are the one constant in my life and I look forward to many more years together.Good health. Lord, thank you, thank you, thank you! You healed my heart again and everyday I have with my children is a blessing from you.
Family. Whenever times get tough we are always there for each other and that's what families are all about! Plus, life wouldn't be as interesting........
Jafar, Amir and Nasser. You three bring a smile to my face always, what is life without dogs? May I have another??? And no, I'm not crazy! (I can hear you Kristy!)
Friends. We may not see each other often but when we do it's like we've never been separated.
What are you thankful for?
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Kisses,
Rie
You DID hear me! I have 2 more dogs for you...
