Happy Thanksgiving

My heart is very full this Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes I look around and can't believe all I have been given. I am very blessed.

  • I have a healthy, happy, bright daughter that I love very, very much.
  • I have family, and even with all of our flaws, we love each other.
  • I have some of the best friends a person could have.
  • I have a job that I love (most of the time). It allows me to be at home with my daughter 183 days out of the year while still being able to afford the necessities (and even some non-necessities) in life. I am grateful for this on a very regular basis.
  • I have a comfortable home that has provided me with the $ to complete 2 adoptions. I always say this house is the reason I am able to have a family (which is a story for another post).
  • Oprah said, "What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine." I give thanks to my Heavenly Father for showing me on a regular basis what He intends for me to become. I am truly blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving Tiffany. We are so blessed to live in abundance with our families. The best part is realizing how blessed we really are. Wishing you a happy holiday season and best wishes with your upcoming adoption!

Blessing are all around. We just need to focus on them.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I'd like to hear the story around your house and why it has helped you to adopt. Mine did too, it was so cheap I was able to save extra money for the kiddo :)

Hope you had a good day! It's nice to count the blessing every once and awhile. I have been meaning to post the song "I have been blessed" by Martina McBride.....it sort of says it all (well- it's not exactly a match for me but- I like the wording).
