There are many things in my life, that I see as defining moments and learning to appreciate it all. I will only list a few.
At 19 I had to have open heart surgery. That was a life changing moment, needless to say.
Then once we were married (at age 22), we had our ups and downs, the biggest was trying to get pregnant for years and then the twins being preemies and so sick.
So today and every day I am grateful for my wonderful family, terrific friend and a loving God that forgives me everyday.
I am thankful beyond words for my children and what they mean to my life. I am thankful for the life I lead each day and where I live. I am thankful to be a child of the KING and saved by his grace!
I am so thankful for this blogging world that I am a part of and the many friends that I have made and that I love dearly.
I am nominating the following ten bloggers:
