An attitude of Gratitude

I was thinking today about how thankful I am to have such amazing family and friends...

I think about when we were first married and how everyone came and helped...from Mandy giving me a dress, Becky and my Mom doing all the planning and buying $$$ to Becky and Fred hosting the rehearsal dinner to my mom having the reception at our house, Dad doing the wedding and Rob playing the piano, so much just for our little wedding.

Then later as we always were short on cash, many people helped pay bills and get us out of debt.

I think of the apartments we have lived in, referalls from Dad and friends and then even Annie and Dave had us living with them for awhile.

Then we finally got our house, Praise the Lord! So much work went into that task, my mom doing all the footwork, and lots of prayer and support for that.

Then I think of all the vacations, Wow!!! Costa Rica, Hawaii, Catalina, Cruise, Cruise, Cruise, and countless times to Las Vegas, all paid for by someone else, WOW.

Then of course there is the birthdays and Christmas's and all the LOOT, more and more...

And then in times of trouble or need, there is always some there with a meal or groceries or a kind word...

Sometimes I wonder why I have so much in my life, I know I am extremely blessed! And I thank God every day.

Above all that I am grateful for the relationships. I have the most amazing family and friends. I love each one so much and they each mean so much to me.

I am thankful mostly for relationships. Thank you to all of you who has been something to me. I love you all.
