Thankful...Day 6 Freedom

Day 6

Thankful for the freedoms that we have here in our great country.  Thankful that the values and morals I help teach my children will one day help them make the right choice when voting for our leaders. Thankful I can teach my children that above all else the Bible is what we follow.  

I guess it is only fitting on election day to make the freedom we have what I'm thankful for.

Day 4

I'm thankful for the man that God brought into my life 24 years ago.  I knew 5 years before that we would be together one day...just took him a couple extra to years figure it out.  He has made me the happiest women in the world.  

Praying that I continue to be the wife that God intends me to be for him!!!
