Thanks Giving
Friend of mine says that between now and Thanksgiving we should wirte one thing a day we're thankful for.
So... I am thankful for the family I came from. They helped me be a better person. We never doubted that we were loved and they gave us an excellent education even though it meant many sacrifices on their part. They also gave us a foundation of faith. Growing up I didn't think they were anything special but as I moved around the country and traveled the world I came to realize how truly lucky I was. To my mom and dad, long gone, thank you.

Although my Dad has gone, I still have my Mom and a sister and a brother and his wife and family. How wonderful to have a loving family when you think there are so many that don't even have that. I am so Thankful that we have a God that loves us.

Comment by Trudy/WI on November 10, 2009 at 8:33am - What a wonderful thing to say! I hope our children/grandchildren will say the same about us someday. Sometimes the kids already have in some ways, especially when they've had opportunity to be around other families, they see the differences and appreciate what we did so much more. I'm thankful for a husband who never gives up and is so determined to make things work. He's kind and generous and so smart, and he's always willing to help whenever it's needed. He's a hard worker and has set some of the best examples for me and our children. Happy quilting!
