Things I Am Thankful For

There has been so much going on that is depressing lately. I thought it was time that I reflect on things that I am thankful for. So here goes.

1. God My Father - Without God I would be nothing. He carries me through each day. I have a peace within me that only God can put there. I know that when I die I will be going to heaven. I thank God everyday for sending his son Jesus to the cross to die for our sins.

2. My husband Russ - I sure don't know what I would do without him. We have been married for about 6.5 yrs now. I was sick before we even met. We met on the Internet. Yes ladies there are really good men that you can meet on the Internet. God put us together is the only way to explain it. He is my rock and will do anything in the world for me and my family. God has truly blessed me with him. I love my husband very much.

3. My daughter Dawn - She is 21 yrs old. Yes she gave me a large amount of gray hairs during her teenage years. She has turned out to be a beautiful woman. A good mother to her son. We are not just mother and daughter we are friends too. I love my daughter very much.

4. My son Spencer - He is my baby boy. I love him very much. He is 12 yrs old and entering those teenage years. Yes we have challenges but he is a great kid who loves to sing in church. I love getting his hugs and kisses everyday.

5. My grandson Landon - What a joy he has brought to our lives. He is 3 yrs old and so full of life. Even on the days I am ready to pull my heart out he is a blessing. He is always ready to help me when he knows I am not feeling well. I love my grandson very much.

6. My mom - There is so much I could say about my mom. She has been there for me from the beginning of getting PH. She is one of my best friends. She is there when I need her for anything. Having her live right behind me has been such a blessing. Mom I love you!

7. My dad - My dad is a very strong man. He is a loving father. He has been there for me from the beginning too. He is there ready to do anything for me when I need his help. Even when he is sick he is more worried about me. He has told me if he could take this illness from me he would. That is true love. I love my dad very much.

8. Special friends Holly, Lisa, Jeanie, Elisha, and Kathy - They all have been so very dear to me. I met Elisha and Kathy as a result of my PH. They both are very special to me. They have been there to help me with whatever I need help with. Holly, Lisa, and Jeanie have always been there for me. Even getting on me when I need to slow down. They can tell when I am having a bad day. I appreciate all they have done for me and how they tell me to stop when I need to.

9. My church family - I know that I have many people praying for me all the time. When I am not feeling well that I can call on them to pray for me. I love my church family.

10. My wonderful doctor Dr. Sood - She is a very good PH doctor. She sometimes has to get tough with me. She doesn't just care about my PH she cares about me as a person and what is going on in my life. I love her and thank God for her.

I could go on and on all day. I needed to get all of this down so that it can be a reminder to me what I have to be thankful for. For those days that I am feeling low and I come back to this post and remind myself. God has truly blessed me.
