As yesterday was my eighteenth birthday, I am just realizing how blessed I am. There is no way that I could ever name them all. Here are eighteen things I am thankful for, one for each year of my life.
1. A God who loves me more than I will ever know.
2. Parents who have taught me to love the Lord and put up with me in my random moments.
3. Sisters who love me for who I am and will forever be my best friends.
4. My healthy body and the miraculous way it works.
5. Food and nurishment that fills my stomach daily.
6. Clean, heated water and the priveledge of a hot shower every morning.
7. A house that keeps me warm, dry, and safe.
8. Music and the voice God has given me with which to sing Him praise.
9. Smiles from friends and strangers that seem to say "you belong here."
10. A love of learning and the curiosity that comes with everyday of life.
11. Mistakes that keep me humble.
12. The Ocean and it's constant, ubundant beauty that is so consistant.
13. The sun-rise that ushers in the possiblites of each new day, filled with color.
14. Variety that provided interest and inspiration.
15. The stars and the hope they bring of day, even in the middle of the night.
16. The seasons that are each so different, yet all designed by God.
17. The way my father loves my mother and the hope that someday someone may love me that way.
18. Flowers and their simplistic beauty, faces always looking up.
