I ditto an earlier poster:
I am thankful for Lord Jesus who saved me.
I am thankful for the husband and children He gave me.

My family, friends, the ability to be a stay at home mom to 3 wonderful kids, and so many other things, but those are the top.

1. the son I dreamed of and prayer for for 30 years
2. A mother who supports me totally in how I live my life
3. friends who helped me find my way to God
4. friends who walked this journey with me and allow me to walk with them.

There are lots of other things, but these are the ones that always come to mind.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Love to you

I am thankful for a community full of family and friends without whose love and support I could not have the wonderful life I have.

I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity to adopt our wonderful daughter. I'm in awe of her birthmother who so lovingly and unselfishly did what she thought was best for this sweet child. She will never know how many lives she affected with this great gift.

I'm thankful our DD's wonderful foster family who cared for her for the first 14 months of her life and continues to care for her today. I often tell people when they ask why we continue communicating with them that they taught our daughter how to love and how to receive love and that is the greatest lesson of all.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for just this reason....it's a time for family and a time to reflect on all that we have. We are truly blessed! It's such a shame how advertisers and retailers skip right over it and move on into Christmas isn't it? Oh well....I guess at least this holiday is one that the true meaning isn't spoiled by meaningless gifts and splurging!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Jeanne
