Forever Beloved

Today I am thankful for a few things.

1.  That the dumb deer I hit {or should I say the dumb deer than ran right into the side of my car} didn’t do more damage.  And that we didn’t hit it a second time, when it ran directly in front of me a quarter mile later.  Eye roll and sarcasm.

2.  That I had a lady tell me “lady, you are way too polite”.  I’m going to take that absolutely as a compliment!!

3.  That the nail lady didn’t wreck my nails completely.  I might have sore fingers BUT my nails look nice.

4.  For teenage littles so super willing to lend a helping hand at church.

5.  For a husband who didn’t even bat an eye when I asked him to run to the store for something our daughter needed so I could stay home and finish a project.  Y’all, we don’t live anywhere near a store so this was a lifesaver!

Today I am so thankful for my three little brothers. After growing up an only child, I’m extra thankful for these boys. We might not see each other very often, and might not speak every day, but I know if I needed them, they would be there for me in heartbeat. I love you guys!!!

PS…sorry no pictures accompany this post, the allergic reaction was not a pretty thing.

Courage is contagious. When one brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened.

Today’s thankful post is easy. I am thankful for everyone who has served our country in the Armed Forces. I am proud to count so many people in my life as veterans – my father, my brother, both my brother-in-laws, members of my church family and so many friends are all veterans.

I am especially thankful for our freedom; freedom that would not exist without the courage and selflessness of the U.S. military. Thank you for your selflessness, thank you for your sacrifices, thank you for your commitment and thank you for your bravery.
