So much to be thankful for . . .

Today I am thankful that everyday I am reminded of how very much I have to be thankful for.
I have spent the last 24 days saying one thing each day that I am thankful for and intend to do so for the next 5 days as well. Over the last week I have come to realize that there are not enough days in my lifetime to be thankful for everything that God has done for me.
I have more than I could ever need and most of everything that I could ever want. Every day I am amazed by the way that God loves me and takes care of me.
Today the boys were with their dad for Thanksgiving. That is always tough for me. I had decided that I wasn't going to do a big Thanksgiving dinner, but after an unexpected blessing of a turkey, well I decided to go for it. Debbie and Dave were here and we had a quiet dinner and just enjoyed being together.
Throughout the day, I was overwhelmed with thankfulness - God has been so good to me and I just want to thank him in whatever small way that I can.
I will share with you the words to a song that speaks from my heart - Happy Thanksgiving!

WHEN I LOOK AROUND AND SEE
THE GOOD THINGS HE DOES FOR ME
I KNOW I`M UNWORTHY OF THEM ALL
BUT HIS BLESSINGS HE FREELY GIVES
I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM
I`VE GOT SO MUCH TO THINK HIM FOR.

AND I`VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR
SO MUCH TO PRAISE HIM FOR
WELL YOU SEE NOW HE`S BEEN SO GOOD TO ME
AND WHEN I THINK OF WHAT HE`S DONE
AND WHERE HE BROUGHT ME FROM
I`VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR

AND SOMETIMES WHILE ON THIS WAY
I KNEEL I STOP AND SAY
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU`VE DONE FOR ME
AND ONE DAY I`LL REACH SWEET HEAVENS SHORE
OH PLEASE JUST LET ME KNEEL ONCE MORE
I`VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR

AND I`VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR
SO MUCH TO PRAISE HIM FOR
WELL YOU SEE NOW HE`S BEEN SO GOOD TO ME
AND WHEN I THINK OF WHAT HE`S DONE
AND WHERE HE BROUGHT ME FROM
I`VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR
THANK HIM FOR
