Happy Thanksgiving to you! I would love to hear what you’re thankful for today in the comments. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day, relaxing day.
Aby, I love your list! I could ditto some of those.
I am thankful for:
1. My relationship with Jesus Christ.
2. My husband, Jim and my 3 children.
3. The home that I live in.
4. My mom, 7 sisters and 3 brothers (and the heritage I have, along with what my dad and grandparents modeled for me)
5. The friends I have
6. The country that I live in that would have a President like Abraham Lincoln making Thanksgiving an official holiday on October 3, 1863 (it’s my absolute favorite!)
7. The Moms In Touch International ministry that has taught me how to pray for my kids.
8. Being healthy and able to exercise
9. YOU! and your workshops which has brought so much more peace and organization to my life
10. The realization that this list could continue on and on but will end here.
Hey big little sis, I love your post. Glad family is right up there. My list would have my big little sis on it.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Loved your list! I’m thankful for food, the ability to travel and see family, my husband and daughters, my own bed to sleep in, church, the Word of our God, Jesus, scrapbooking, my new office, good books and authors, music and paint to refresh things. 🙂
There are so many – but my husband and two loving fun boys, my family, adjusting to MIL moving in, our warm loving home, peace in my space, our jobs, love and laughter filling my home, my IPOD which is my escape, the health we do have, time together, my therapy (scrapping), this time of year.
Happy Thanksgiving Aby!

I am thankful for my sweet and smart 5-year-old son, for my friends (who are truly the best in the world), for my new scrap space, for life and everything it has offered me. I count my blessings! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
