Thankful For Countdown

Thanksgiving is fast approaching. I am hosting the Stroud family at my house this year. That means there is lots to do! Life doesn't stop just because the holidays are coming. If you are like me, it can be hard enough to keep up with day to day life. Throw in extra cleaning, pie baking and first time turkey- maker fear and things start to feel a bit daunting.
Each day I will need to stop and take a deep breath. I need to stop and remember why I am doing the things I'm doing. I am going to try to take time out each day to list one thing I am thankful for until Thanksgiving arrives.
Today I am thankful for my children. I say this even as Trey is whining for candy and Kayelynn is climbing in and out of her crib instead of taking her nap. I have days when I want to sell them to the highest bidder. In reality I know that I couldn't live without them. They are sweet and adorable. I love them. They are my future and the light of my life. They have no idea how much they are loved. I have thanked God for them over and over since he gave them to me. So today, as my sweet offspring challenges my last ounce of patience, I remember how thankful I am for them both and how empty my life would seem without them.
What are you thankful for?
