V: Vacations. Praise the Lord I have a family who loves to travel and spend time together. I just love vacations, time to get away, time to explore.
W: Wealth. Not the money, either. I am thankful for the wealth of blessings God has given me, which don't come from cold hard cash. Most of them aren't even tangible.
X: X-tended family. Yes, I realize that is not really an 'x' word, but I wanted to recognize my awesome extended family... In-laws, cousins, aunts & uncles. I love how crazy we all are and how much fun we have together!
Y: YOU! This blog is so special to me & each one of you who stop by to check in mean a lot to me. Thank you for being a part of my life.
Z: Zipper-free pants. This is a funny one to end on, but when you're 36+ weeks pregnant, you're very thankful for pants without a zipper!! As mentioned here ;)
What are you thankful for?
I pray each of you & your families enjoy this long weekend & time to reflect on your blessings. Make it a great one friends!
