This year, my list is not about what I want, it's about the gifts I've already received:
1. Thank you God for another year with my husband. And thanks for giving him back his hair this year.
2. Thank you God for my family. Mom and step-dad, step-mom, sisters and brother, nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, mother in law, sisters in law and brothers in law...it's great to have a big family. They are all special in their own way and I am blessed to have each and every one of them.
3. Thank you God for my job. I love going to work every day (although some days are better than others). But in this time of uncertainty for so many people, I am grateful for my work.
4. Thank you God for the roof over my head and the food I have to eat. I think about this almost daily and especially when I run into Mike, the homeless vet near Briarwood. Thank you for Mike, as he is my constant reminder to practice gratitude.
5. Thank you God for my friends. Although I see only a few them face to face on a regular basis, they are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Merry Christmas and guide us with your Grace.
