Last week, Iris focused on relationships. Well, this week I thought I'd do the same. I am so thankful for my relationship with God. I learn day after day how to lean on Him more and more and trust Him in all things. I am so thankful for His unconditional love.
I am so thankful for my husband. He is such a Godly, patient, and loving man. He is very sensitive to my needs. That is a tremendous blessing ladies! He is a hard worker who takes his responsibility and role of provider very seriously. He is also an absolutely wonderful father. And I am so grateful for that!
I am thankful for my children. They are each very unique and have taught me much! I am so thankful that God has blessed us with each one of them.
I am thankful for my parents. They have gone through a lot over the years and they put up with a lot from me in my teenage years. They have loved me through it all. I am thankful that we have a wonderful relationship and that we are now living close to them!
I am thankful for my sister and her family. My sister and I have grown a lot closer and have a great relationship. I am thankful that we are now living closer to her and her family as well!
I am thankful for family period. In different relationships, we have learned a lot. God has used some family relationships to help me grow and mature. Some relationships have been harder than others. But even with the harder relationships, God has helped me to not only learn a lot, but also to learn how to love as He loves.
Finally, there's a very special person that I am tremendously thankful for. She's my best friend. We've been friends since high school and our relationship has weathered a few storms along the way. We've walked through tough times together, cried together, and most certainly laughed A LOT together. My life has been so enriched and blessed because of our relationship.
