What I am most thankful for this holiday season...
1. My Lord - even though at times, He is not my #1 priority, He still loves and forgives me no matter how sinful I am. Our pastor preached an amazing message about this on Sunday. I am so thankful to have a God that stands for me, by me, and with me! I couldn't do anything without Him!
2. My husband - I am so blessed that God allowed us to meet and be together. I wonder why at times he puts up with me and all my quirks, but I am thankful that he does. I am also so thankful that he works hard everyday to provide for me and the boys. He is a wonderful and loving husband, father, and friend. I am definitely thankful for Cory this year! I love you babe!
3. My two cute kiddos - I can't believe I am the mother of two little boys! It is a dream come true! I am so blessed that God has entrusted me to raise these two souls! I pray each day that I am doing well! Caden and Carter are such blessings to me, and I need to remember that more often! I am thankful that I am their mom, and my life would be dull without them!
4. My family - I have wonderful parents, an awesome sister, and a precious Grammy! I am the woman I am today because of the wonderful way I was raised! It is a legacy that began with Grammy and Papa and continued with my parents. I know I didn't always appreciate my parents when I was growing up, but I do now. I should have told them more often how thankful I am for how they raised me! My sister and I don't always see eye to eye, but I love her and I am thankful that she is not just a sister, but a friend! God has given me an awesome family and I am very thankful for all of them!
5. My new family (the in-laws) - God totally blew me away with great in-laws. Everyone has their horror stories about their in-laws but I LOVE MINE! Seriously...my father in law is just like Cory so what is not to love! I am Cory's mom in a younger body - how scary is that for him :) They took me in from day one and loved me like their own! They have blessed us in so many ways, I can't even begin to make a list. Cory's sisters have become like sisters to me...I even fight with them sometimes like I did with my own sister! I love them and their kids so much! It is great to see us building and growing the next generation of Reid's! God definitely put me in the right family!
6. Last but not least my friends - I have wonderful friends. God put people in my life to meet just about every need I have! He knows what I need and who can fill it! I am so thankful for all of the special people in my life! I love you all!
This is just what was on my heart yesterday and today! I am so thankful for the life God has given me! I should be more appreciative more often! That is my challenge to you...let someone know this week that you are thankful for them! Have a wonderful holiday!

Isn't God good to us! I meant to do this and haven't yet! It's good to think about all we've been blessed with. It's too easy to take it for granted!!- I know I do sometimes.
