Thankful List

I am the queen of lists. I literally make a list for everything. When I pack, I make a list. Most mornings when I wake up, I make a to-do list. I never go to the grocery store or Hobby Lobby without a list. I give a very specific list to Jeff for birthday/Christmas requests and I have a ever-running list of projects I would like to complete. 

So, being that tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I felt it appropriate to make a "Thankful List" that acknowledges everything I am thankful for. 

My Thankful List: 

(In no specific order)

1. My wonderful husband - this is our first thanksgiving together (we have always celebrated with our own families) and I am so excited to eat turkey with him! 

2. Our new home 

3. My loving family - always supportive, always there

4. Luke & Libby 

5. My creativity- God given

6. My Freedom 

7. The precious Ella, Noah, Eli, & Cade- tiny blessings

8. Diet Coke 

9. The love of my God, who has blessed me so dearly I sometimes wonder why...

10. My amazing friends

11. Christmas music - my favorite!

12. The fact that I don't have to study for finals over "Thanksgiving break"

13. Gift giving/receiving season is around the corner

14. My warm bed- lying in it as I blog

15. 10-1...Geaux Tigers! 

16.Thankful this list is never ending...

Yes, I know some of these are shallow but I was being honest...no shame in that! 

I am the first to admit that I am not always as thankful as I should be I tend to be a tad dramatic sometimes and think I have it soooo bad. However, I am well aware that is not the case and I should be on my knees every night thanking God for this wonderful life He has given me. 

I leave you with this...

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving

and His courts with praise;

give thanks to Him and praise His name.

 For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;

His faithfulness continues through all generations."

                                          - Psalm 100:4-5

Hope you take time to be thankful today!
