It's that time of year that makes me think of all the things I am thankful for. I am continually realizing how many blessings I have in my life, and how I could really never make a complete list of all of them, but it's still pretty cool to jot some of them down in order to reflect and praise God for all that He gives. So, here's my 2008 "what I'm thankful for" list. Feel free to add to it...what else should I be thankful for?
