Five Things I Am Thankful For:

1. I'm thankful to God for the wonderful young man our daughter married this past July! We prayed for God's perfect match for Rebecca since she was about 7 years old. God answered our prayers beautifully!

2. I'm thankful even for the large amount of taxes we must pay this year because it proves God's overflowing abundance upon our business in 2007!

3. I'm thankful for nearing our 30th wedding anniversary and being married to a wonderful, Godly man!

4. I'm thankful for the assurance that my beloved father is now in the presence of Jesus! He went home to be with Jesus on February 23, 2007.

5. I'm thankful for our son Jeremy who strives to keep a positive attitude in the midst of long, grueling hours to be a good doctor in his second year of residency.

Psalm 28:7
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped:
Therefore my heart exults,
And with my song I shall thank Him."

When in the pits and so lost with no hope, I am so thankful the Lord found me and saved me.

He healed my marriage and brought new joy and peace like I had never known and I thank Him.

For my wonderful husband I thank Him.
For my precious children I thank Him.
For the bright and wonderful addition to our family of my two grandchildren,Hannah Grace and Luke Edward, what beautiful gifts they are to us, and I thank Him.

For my dear, precious friends, who are always ther to support and love me, I thank Him.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Tracylea

Thank you Karla for the beautiful Thanksgiving card. It really got my creative juices to flowing and I used them and embellished them for some of my friends. I am sure they will be blessed with their thanksgiving greeting.
God is so good and my prayer is that you and your family share a wonderful, fun-filled and blessed thanksgiving season.
