Thanksgiving is fast approaching! One of my favorite holidays! It's simple, a time for us all to come together as a family and EAT some delicious food! And it also reminds of us all the blessings we have in our lives! This year I have SO much to be thankful for!!!
.. Our beautiful children. All 3 healthy, smart, and thriving. They are the biggest blessings in my life and I love them so much! And soon, God willing, number four will join our family! We are super excited as the time draws near!
We have a home. A lovely home filled with love, and laughter, and good food for us to eat!
We have our health!
I have a wonderful husband who loves me and our kids so much! I feel so lucky to have met him when I was so young and we were able to start building our life together early on. We are exactly where I'd hoped we'd be at this point.
I'm thankful I get to stay home and watch my babies grow up. It's not a gift I take for granted.
My family. And my husbands family. They are all so wonderful and I'm not sure what we'd do without them!!!
My fantastic midwives! It's so hard to find the care they provide. I'm thankful for them. Truly.
So many things in my life to feel blessed by! These are just a few! What are some of the things YOUR thankful for?

Being Thankful...
I've been thinking a lot lately about taking things for granted.. I have so much.. that I wonder, do I sometimes take the little things for granted?? I am sure I do.. I try not to, but sometimes I just don't think of it...
I have a roof over my head when so many people have no home. They worry where they will spend the night..
We have a fridge full of food. How many times have I wandered into the kitchen and stomped around exclaiming "There is nothing to eat!" When in reality I don't know what starving or "having nothing to eat" truly means. There are children who ARE truly starving.. Families who worry where their next meal will come from... I try not to take this for granted. I donate to food banks and drives. Whenever Nadia's school is asking for food donations , I'm more than happy to put in more than they ask for. Because God is good to us. We have so much.
My Children. God help me if I ever take them for granted. They are one gift who I truly try to appreciate for all they are. I realize there are people who are not able to have children for one reason or another. And God has blessed us with three beautiful, healthy, smart little ones. He trusted us to raise them up. I often feel guilty, like why me? Why not someone else who would also be a good mother, and love them. That I just don't understand. But I know I must never take for granted that I have been blessed with those babies. Even in my most frustrated moment as a mother I still drop to my knees and thank God for them. The most amazing people I've met. My wonderful, wonderful children. Thank you God. Thank you for my babies..
*sighs* I don't know what to take from this. Just a reminder.. Be thankful. Because there are others not as fortunate as you. There are those without shelter, food, or freedom....
