Thankfulness Blog

Today I am thankful for old friendships that do not die simply because you are in a different season of life. Enough said!

Thankfulness Blog - Week #3

Today, I am thankful for my parents. I have the best parents in the world. They have never let me down and are my biggest supporters, encouragers, and friends. Not everyone has a great relationship with their parents. I am thankful for two loving parents who love me no matter what. I have been blessed with two super role models of success in their careers, in their families, and in their church. Thankful for you on this day Mom and Dad!

30 Days of Thankfulness - my girls!

Today, I am thankful for my girlfriends. I have a core group of girls who are some of my best friends. We pick up right where we left off. When life happens and you need someone to lean on, these are my go to gals. I love them so much and I am thankful that God has put these godly women in my life. Seasons come and seasons go, friends come in and out of your life. But these girls are lifetime friends. Amy, Steph, Mags, Aimee, Rach, and Nee Nee - love you girls so much and wouldn't trade the world for you! Thanks for your friendship!!!!

30 Days of Thankfulness Blog - Freedom

Today I am thankful for my freedom, specifically I am thankful for all of those who have served in the military to assure my freedoms in this great country. I am thankful for those who served the ultimate price of their lives and for those who have come back wounded with memories we will never understand. I am thankful for my Grandpa who was a life-long soldier and for my Dad who served in the Air Force. I am thankful for the rights that I may take forgranted each day that was bought at a price.

30 Days of Thankfulness

Today, as I was driving to work with my boys, we began talking about the beautiful trees that are changing colors. We pointed out the yellow ones, the gold ones, the orange ones, the brown ones, and the red ones. Jack asked me why trees change colors. Caleb shouted out before I could answer, "So God can teach you your colors!". Great response K-man. Yes, today I am thankful for the beautiful masterpiece God has put in front of us to live in - the world. Do you take the time to notice? Thank you Lord, that you reminded me of your greatness through the observations of my children! :)

Thankfulness Blog Week #2

I am thankful for my children. They light up my world around me and make me feel young. I hope that one day they will remember their childhood and think we did an ok job. It is a huge undertaking to guide and teach children to become good human beings. I am thankful that they remind me to laugh when I have had a hard day. I am thankful that they remind me that you are only young once, so you better embrace it. I am thankful that they love me and I am thankful that God entrusted those little guys to my care here on earth. I love my sweet boys and am so thankful that they made me a mom!

Today, I am thankful for my family. I am thankful that I have a loving family that supports each other no matter what. I am thankful that as the stress of the holidays approach, my stress relates to how I am going to fit everyone in and not how am I going to get along with someone. I am blessed with wonderful in-laws who love me and accept me. Not everyone can say the same. I am thankful for a family who loves each other.

30 Days of Thankfulness #2

Today, I am thankful for my campus community - my job. Today, OSU-OKC will remember our President, Dr. Jerry Carroll who passed away last week of cancer. Our campus will miss him greatly. But as we reflect, and begin this time of transition, I am thankful for the community that we are. It' not going to be easy - it will definitely be painful. However, God placed each of us on this campus at this time to make a difference. I am thankful that I work at a wonderful place where the goal is to make a difference in someone's life - from the top down.

30 Days of Thankfulness

So, I was challenged by a fellow classmate to join him in blogging 30 days of Thankfulness. It seems like a great idea. However, I am late. Oh well...better late than never.

Today I am thankful that my husband and I can provide for my family. I joined some fellow colleagues at the Hope Luncheon at the Regional Food Bank. It was a very powerful experience. I have never been hungry. I mean the true hunger where your belly hurts so bad you cry. Sure, I have had to fast for medical procedures like getting my wisdom teeth out and it wasn't fun. But, I knew that as soon as I could eat, there would be food available. This is not everyone's reality - and I am talking right here in Oklahoma! Not in Africa or some other far away country - right here! I am thankful that my children do not have to worry about only getting one meal a day or maybe no food at all. I am thankful that I don't have to worry about my one year old failing to thrive because he is starving to death. I am thankful that God opened my eyes to the needs of people right here in my community! And, I am thankful that He touched my heart to try and make a difference. Yes, I am thankful Lord, for the blessing of the life that has been chosen for me.
