Lord, I am so Thankful! (Gratitude Community…1000 gift list cont’d)

The Inspiration for my gratitude journal

Lord,

Can I ever thank you enough for all that I have , for all you’ve done, all you’ve given me, all that you allow, all that you bless? I don’t think so BUT that doesn’t mean I won’t give it my best shot!! I thank you Lord for it all!! I thank you for what has been and what is to come!! I thank you for you! I thank you despite circumstances and because of circumstances!! I thank you, I thank you, I thank you……………………

(As always Lord, Thank you for letting me be my boys mom!!!)
