Thanks Dad

Canadians celebrated Thanks Giving last month but I was looking through some blogs and stumbled across Rachel, Finding Joy and she has a link up on the ABC's on Thanks. I thought it would be good to do as we should be thankful every single day, so here I go....



A)   Apples, I am so thankful for apples
B)  Bible, where would I be without the Living Word of God
C)  Cats, I just loooooove them, so snugly and furry :)
D)  Dogs, stinky but hey they are tons of fun, especially my 5
E)  Easter, my favorite holiday, so thankful for Jesus dying for me I have no words.........
F)  Fireplace, it is so peaceful sitting in front of an open fire with the husband and kids; cats sprawled out and snowflakes drifting down outside.
G)  Grandmas and Grandpas, mine are no longer here but my family have some adopted ones that make my heart sing.
H)  Horses, there is nothing better then getting on a horse bareback and zooming along at top speed.
I)  Internet, so thankful for having this as it makes home schooling easy
J)  Jesus, He is my best friend, brother, saviour, comforter; I couldn't imagine living without knowing Him
K)  Kids, I love them to death even if sometimes they are the death of me :)
L)  Lemons, especially lemon gelato. My husband always tries to find places with it because he knows how much I love it. Thanks hubby.
M)  Mud, mud pies, writing in the mud and squishing it with your boots
N)  Nature, if I could spend all day outside I would be so happy!
O) Oriole, birds of all kinds I just love
P)  Puddles, jumping and splashing in puddles, oh so much fun
Q)  Questions, reminds me of when my daughter was very little, she was a motor mouth asking a zillion questions a minute.
R)  Rain, who can resist twirling and dancing in the rain
S)  Snow, I love snowshoeing and just walking or running in the stuff
T)  Trees, any type I love them all especially the way they smell
U)  Umbrella, big ones so two or three people can fit under
V)  Voice, listening to my daughter singing, she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard; makes me cry
W)  Windows, so when I am stuck inside I can look out at God's beautiful creation
X)  X-rays, my kids have had so many of them, I am so thankful for this piece of equipment and for my husband always bringing them to the hospital and zooming them in fast.
Y)  Yams, my son loves them and gets so excited when I cook them.
Z)  Zebras!! They are related to horses so I just love them.

God bless you all and it would be great to see what you are thankful for. Rachel will have this link up until Saturday, so there's still time.
