I am thankful for...

That is a Question for all to ponder, and I am no exception. I am thankful for so many things, big and small. I am thankful for my life as it is now, I am thankful that I am given the agency to choose for myself, for a loving and understanding husband. For children who love me unconditionally and forgive me each and every day for the shortcomings that they endure, I am thankful for my experiences, both good and bad. I am thankful for trivial things like hot chocolate and frozen Reeses peanut butter cups, and electricity, and cell phones and a SUV with Onstar, and indoor plumbing in our warm and cozy home. But, I am also thankful for the Doctor's that helped me to have the life I do now, and the Doctor that will help my middle daughter be able to walk better, sooner than we were expecting, and the pain medications that are available so that there will be minimal suffering for both of us. I am also thankful for my education, and the opportunity that I have to further my knowledge each and every day. I am most thankful for a loving and gracious Heavenly Father who knows my desires, and in spite of my stumbles, and blips on the radar, He smiles at me anyway because He knows my intentions and my hopes and shows that He loves me every single day!
