I'm thankful for a gazillion things I take for granted every day! Health, a car that gets me everywhere, eyesight, color, animals, my dog, Chili, husband who provides, our children who love and serve the Lord, my job, christian friends who love me despite me, my church, my Dr who is a Christian and cares about the whole me, my home, candles, rest at night, peace in my heart, the ability to do many things, time and resources to bless others in the midst of a pretty much full time job. Mostly I am thankful to a God who is in everything, provides and cares for me in big things and the most small things. I'm truly amazed and grateful.

I'm thankful for my 2 awesome boys, a woman who loves me and challenges me to no end, and Jesus who fills me beyond measure. - Matt Ely

As hard as the past year has been, I have a roof over my head, good healthy food on my table, a husband to share it with who treats me well and give me respect and a family and friend network that I try hard not to take for granted. A lot of people around me talk about what they have lost and what they are missing. I look at what I have right now. I am most grateful to have a more positive outlook on life and grateful to all the hardships that gave me the lessons to turn myself into a more positive person.
