Lessons Learned on the Farm

• Nov. 18, 2009 - Thankful, thankful, thankful

Wow, it's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a little over a week away! I've been trying to count my blessings each day, but I thought I'd share a few with you all today.

1. God's unconditional love
2. New mercies every day
3. A loving husband who teaches me about dedication and service every day
4. Three boys who make me laugh, care about others, and love me even when I'm not much fun.
5. Our dogs - They make the world a better place.
6. The horse and sheep and how they remind me of the blessings of friendship and sticking together.
7. The guineas and their noises which have become a great comfort. (I really miss our chickens.)
8. The blessing of being able to enjoy living in the country.
9. Deer meat in the freezer.
10. My electric mattress pad, O24, good books, and ibuprofen!

What are you all especially thankful for this week?

I heard from Manly last night - just as I was getting "twitchy" about not having heard from him for a bit - but not until I was done working out for the night, because he popped online just as I got some stress and aggression out on the equipment. That worked out well because he wasn't feeling well and it was better that I wasn't feeling sorry for myself or snarky about our "military family duty". ;-)

I am thankful for many things, but one thing I am truly thankful for Nancy, is YOU!

You are one of my best friends and I am just SO blessed that God brought you and your whole family into our lives!

Happy Thanksgiving, Nancy! :)

I like your list, although I am currently not very thankful for my dogs as we got a call from our neighbor that our dogs were out by the main road... at 6am... while we are out of town. Grrr...

I only wish it got cold enough here for an electric mattress pad-- that sounds soooo cozy!

Have a great week with your family, my friend. I am thankful for YOU and your friendship over the years.

Love,
Marsha

What a sweet post of thanks. I've never thought about being thankful for my electric blanket, but when you said that about your electric mattress pad, I thought, yep, I hate to be without mine too. Thanks for sharing. I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.
Blessings,
