Day 6 I'm thankful that God will never forsake or leave me, and that he is my refuge! Tonight with the election results rolling in, I really have to be thankful that God is with me, because other wise I can’t imagine getting through this.

 

Day 7 ~ I am thankful for the FREEDOMS that I will not give up!!! That is first and foremost, my Bible will never be taken!!! My Family will stand firm on the word of God!!! My freedom to HOMESCHOOL my children!!! The right to my GUNS!!! Yes these are MY RIGHTS, and I will keep them!!!

 

Day 8 ~ I am thankful for the love of cooking and baking! But more than that, I am so thankful for the wonderful women who have taught me how to do such! My precious Momma! She always let me he help her and we cooked so much together! I miss the all nighters on Christmas eve cooking and baking! Or the fun we had preparing for all the gatherings. Or what about how awesome it is that she taught me how to stretch the food and dollar!  Or any of the other special memories we shared together. I also gained her love of feeding others! It’s truly my pleasure to cook for other people. So we often have people over.  My Sister, Laura, taught me to cook and eat and try different stuff than the traditional southern comfort foods.  We would make all kinds of stuff. And she was the griller! Growing up, my dad pretty much did burgers and hotdogs on the grill. And Laura taught me all the awesome stuff to grill out! I’d say let’s get together and grill this and make this for dinner! Great memories and times! A couple of near and dear friends (Melanie, Paula, and Tanya) have shared some pretty awesome and special recipes and taught me some tricks along the way! And my sweet friend, Nichole and I started canning together, and it has been a blessing to me and my family many times! Not to mention the fun we had doing so! I’ll never forget that first day of canning together! Boy howdy, were we in for a shock! You should have seen our to do list! And well into the night, we had to say, ok, we just can’t finish it all this day. But it was fun and taught us a lot! Aunt Bobbie Johnson taught me to finally make real gravy!!! And tonight was the first time I ever made it and it come out right! She taught me last month when they were visiting and I was so happy and thankful.  I am thankful for all the expertise and help along the way! It's really awesome and so special!!!! I'm truly thankful!!!!

 

Day 9 - I am so thankful for the laughter I had today! Watching the girls play in the leaves and boy did we all laugh! They were jumping and flipping and laughing! It’s one of my favorite things of fall. Then tonight while on the phone with my friend, there was the strange guy that was sharing his wild story (I havent laughed that hard in a long time!) The silliest things brought such laughter today! Laughter is truly the best medicine.

 

What are you thankful for? Are you doing the 30 days of Gratitude? I’d love to hear from all of you!
