Bday!!

Today is my bday! Yea, I know, kinda weird to post a post on myself but hold on a second....don't turn off the computer yet...!!! LOL!!!!

My reason for posting about my own bday? The fact that I want to thank the Lord for another year. I'm a blessed woman. To be as blessed as I am and not stop and thank the Lord for this blessing would be wrong on my part so that's what I'm doing. I don't have the guarentee of another day so I'm going to do my best to not take each day's little blessings or big blessings for granted. :)

So many people don't have their parents anymore...I do! I have two wonderful parents of which I'm so very thankful for. Two parents that are going to be showing up in about 8 hrs to keep our kids so that we can go out to eat! Two parents that raised me to the best of their ability with God as their helper to make sure I was led along the right paths. I'm thankful I still have my parents.

I have a wonderful husband...and there are so many ppl that don't have their spouse anymore. I do!! And guess what??? I woke up this morning to a poem! Wow!! He's never written me a poem and there it was on the kitchen counter! :) He's a gr8 man and I'm so proud of him and thankful God gave him to ME!

I have 5 wonderful kids! Beautiful and healthy!! So many ppl that can't have kids and God blessed me with FIVE!! This is a blessing I thank the Lord for on a daily basis! I've wanted kids ever since I can remember and HE gave them to me! :) They fill my days with work, aggravations and tears at times...BUT...the times they fill my days with love and laughs totally outweigh and overtake those other times! I'm so thankful for my kids.

Friends. You know there have been times in my life that I have wondered where I was headed and feeling so utterly alone. That's a very hard thing to go through. I've been through depression even to the point of being put on meds and that was a REAL difficult thing to go through. BUT...through all that were those very close and special friends that stuck right there and encouraged me on and through it. Today I'm a better person due to my friends. REAL friends. And let me tell you...a REAL friend is just hard to come by anymore. But I have them. And I will not take that for granted. So, thank-you, Lord, for my friends.

And the rest of my family...brothers, sis's in law, bro in law, parents in law, neices, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents...on and on it goes....I'm so very thankful! For all the love, laughs and fun times that each of them have given to me...thank you!

Now I'm sure you're bored and don't wanna hear anymore but hey...its MY day!!! LOL!!! And I'm thankful for one more year that I've been granted to enjoy all these blessings and SO, SO, SO much more than this!

Ok, I'm done.......For now!!
