THANKFULNESS....

This is by far my FAVORITE time of the year. November is the month when we take time to say thank you. Although thankfulness should be something we make intentional in our lives, it is this time of the year that we are reminded.

-thankfulness is something that we all take for granted in some way in our life. we either complain about the things we don't have, complain about what we do have, or complain that it isn't enough or what we wanted. In some shape, form or fashion we all can relate.

Earlier this year, I made a promise to myself and God that I would be content and thankful for all that I have and all that I go through. I can truly say, that I have been tested in so many ways, but I never lost focus on the One who could and would bring me out. 

I am thankful for so much in my life. I can't even begin to share with you guys all that I am thankful for, so I will share the top 10 most things that make me raise my eyes to my Faithful God above and say THANKS.
