Give Thanks to the Lord!

Psalms 100:4 says "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."

I want to use this post to give thanks to God and praise his name for the wonderful Thanksgiving holiday I spent in Alabama with my family. So here's my list of things I am thankful for:

1. I'm thankful for happy children who traveled like champs!
2. I'm thankful for a DVD player in the car so that my children stayed entertained.
3. I'm thankful for the gorgeous fall foilage we gazed upon during our long stretch of I-10 (beautiful trees full of leaves colored orange, yellow, & red in Florida believe it or not!)
4. I'm thankful for healthy parents & grandparents who love their grandchildren!
5. I'm thankful for 2 beautiful sisters who made me laugh so hard!
6. I'm thankful for a patient husband who disregards my not so nice moods!
7. I'm thankful for Sudafed because we all got some serious sinus issues going on from all our travel and weather changes.
8. I'm thankful for a date night out with my husband to see Twilight for the second time and then we hit the Krisy Kreme for a dozen glazed doughnuts!
9. I'm thankful for the friends & family I missed while I was gone.
10. Mostly I'm thankful for the opportunity to live life and enjoy the amazing blessings that God has given my family!

Love this post. I had such an awesome time with my family for the week and yes the colors in the panhandle are truly amazing. Abbie couldn't believe it. She wanted to know why our big trees on our property didn't turn orange and red and yellow. I so want to see twilight again.
