I am thankful for .........

To start i'd like to say thanks to God who created me! Who died on a cross for my sins although i'm so undeserving. Who has given me everything I have and made me who I am today. Who sent me to a town called Hungry Horse. Who gave me the courage to leave my family and everything I know and love. The God from whom all blessings flow!!! He is the reason for everything i'm about to list. He is everything to me He's more than a story, more than words on a page in history. Hes the air that I breathe and i am so thankful for him!!!
I am thankful for two christian parents. A mom who is my best friend and a Dad who thinks I hung the moon. Parents who would do anything for me but most important parents who enstilled Gods love in me. I was raised in church and always knew I was loved. I had a wonderful childhood all thanks to them.
I am thankful to have both sets of grandparents still today. But most importantly I am thankful that even when the time comes for them to go I know i will see them again because they are all believers.
I am thankful that Mamaw Harmon always loved us grandkids the same and goes out of her way to make sure we know there are no favorites. Who read us books even when I know she didnt want to and when we were learning to read she would say no you read it to me. I am thankful that she looked at me one night during revival and asked me if i wanted to be saved. I accepted christ that night and i still remember how she cried and I know it was because God had answered a prayer. I know she prayed constantly till all of us grandkids were saved. And for that i will always be grateful.
I am thankful for Papaw Harmon and even though he never says it I know he loves all us grandkids very much. I am thankful for the good christian man he is. I'll always remember him reciting poems and drinking a glass of mello yello. And how when mamaw was at work he let us do whatever we wanted. And how every morning you can find him reading his bible, and how worn his bible is and how much He loves Clear Springs Baptist Church.
I am thankful for Mamaw and Papaw Wilcox who also always made sure I knew about Jesus. Who hug you when you get to there house and hug you when you leave. And how they share my lve for animals and how we can talk for hours about our pets. They are a blessing and I am thankful for them.
