Be Thankful


So I've been having a pretty tough month this month. Then tonight the words to the song "Count Your Many Blessings" popped into my head.


"When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged thinking all is lost. Count your many blessings; name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done."


So I decided to do that tonight. I made a list of 50 things that I'm thankful for. Here's the list I came up with (in no particular order).


1. My hubby Sam

Hey Mars!
I'm sorry that you have had a rough month. I love you more than words can ever express. I'm glad that this post was helpful for you. I'm always here for you if you ever need me especially if you ever need to talk. It doesn't matter the time (I'm probably up still pouring over my Twilight books).
