On Thanksgiving, I give the most and biggest thankfulness for my Lord and savior, Jesus. What else can I say?! So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. John 1:14
We have enough.
I am so thankful that we always have enough. We have enough in our accounts to pay the bills. We have enough food to keep everyone full and healthy. We have enough gas in our tank and we have enough clothes in our closets. Most importantly, we have enough love in our home.
And for technology
I’ll admit it: I’m thankful for technology. It helps me meet with old friends and new. It helps me connect with my family far away. It helps me work without leaving the comfort of home. At any given moment, I have multiple devices around me, including a smartphone, work laptop, work mac, tablet, home desktop, Rafa’s smartphone and laptop, etc. I can connect with anyone at anytime! I love it.
For our ride
I am thankful for my car! My sweet hubby researched it, found it, negotiated it, and brought it home for the girls and me to drive around it. After not having a car of my own for awhile, I extra appreciate having this awesome ride. We all can fit in this car (3rd row seat) and we love riding in style!
Singing the gift
I am so thankful for the gift of music. I am thankful I get to use my voice to worship the Lord. It is such a blessing for me to sing along with the saints at our house church. I spent a lot of years working on my voice for selfish reasons. God used that and now I get to lead worship for His glory.
For our pets
I am thankful for our pets, Oreo and Socks. Kind of 🙂 Oreo hisses at me less often these days. Socks seems to appreciate the extra pets I’ve given her. Both of our cats are so shy, but they love Giana. She is the one who gives them treats! I am also thankful for the fact that we had the fish and Hawk for so much of the year. I.. Read More
For The Rock
Our church, The Rock, is a huge thing to be thankful for. Ever since the day I saw the billboard that said “Want God, Not Religion?” I knew I found my church home. I walked in the first time and loved it. I loved the music, the people I met, the message. That was more than six years ago and I have never stopped attending the Friday night services. When..

For my brother
I am thankful for my brother, Michael. I am such an old lady compared to him – I was 12 1/2 when he was born, which means I was starting high school when he was starting kindergarten, and I left for college before he was even done with elementary school. It’s hard to think about how much of his life I have missed. He has been through a lot in.. Read More
For date night
I am so thankful for our date night group! Every Wednesday, we share babysitting duties with four other couples. Our kids range in age from 3 months up to 6 years. The kids do great together and love playing at each others houses. Each week someone when couple takes a turn watching all the other couples children. For two and a half hours, the other couples are free to go.. Read More
Thankful for Jennifer
I am so thankful for my sweet sister Jennifer! She is one of the most genuinely nice people on the planet. She is generous, empathetic, and very pretty to boot! Jennifer is a pretty hard name for little ones to say, so her nickname is just Aunt. The one…the only….AUNT! Giana gets so excited when we talk about aunt (along with aunt’s best friends, Uncle Mike and Champion!). The girls.. Read More
