Tearless Tuesday


Rejoice always. Pray continually. Give Thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Another Tuesday, another day to truly be thankful for each and every one of our days. Our thanks to Blogbaby for creating this blog carnival that celebrates Tuesday Fiona Whitt's life - by choosing to be thankful in all circumstances.

My Husband - My husband is wonderful, and I can't say this enough. This weekend we went to a marriage retreat (second time for us) and even though most guys would complain about having to do this, he was willing and even excited! As days turn into weeks and we get busy with everyday life, I tend to forget the great gift God has given me in Thom. I have never met a more perfect match for myself. He is great in all things I am lacking and vice-versa. He is compassionate, kind, brave, strong, loving, fair and thoughtful. I am nothing with out him.

My Parents - My parents are beyond great! I feel this way always, however after leaving Troy with them for a good portion of this weekend, I am reminded how truly great they are. They are wonderful parents and even better grandparents. I cannot thank them enough to just open their arms and hearts to my children and step-children. They are kind beyond words. Plus, they must have some sort of 'saint-hood' in them to put up with my crap for 28 years!

My Children - Each one of my children is a special blessing. I continue to get to know Daniella and Brady each time we get to see them, and I love the young adults they are growing up to be. Dean is one of my two greatest accomplishments in this world and I am reminded everyday of what a gift I have through him. Troy is amazing and in the 5 months he has been on this earth has made me laugh every day. I cannot get enough of my children.
