Thanksgiving

Just a list of some things I am thankful for this year.

a godly husband, my wonderful children, my awesome family, my wonderful friends, health, my supportive church family, a warm home, two running vehicles, my job, the opportunity to homeschool my kids, my mom and dad, my sisters who are also my best friends, my neices and nephews, the beauty of nature, the gift of music and song, the freedom of religion in our wonderful country, good historical fiction, God's holy word, all of the stuff that makes life easier, the trials I have gone through that have made me stronger and has drawn me closer to God, the Holy Spirit guiding me and helping me, the love of Jesus that he should die to set me free, the arms of my loving heavenly father, food in abundance so great that I not only have leftovers but also choices, the delicate touch of a flower petals, the smooth skin of a baby's cheeks, the smile of a child, jeans that fit, footrubs from my hubby, and the hot bubble bath that is calling my name.

There is so much more that I can list. I am just so very blessed! Happy Thanksgiving!

French Fries and Whiplash

So, the other day I was reaching into my minivan to grab my french fries and I hit my head on the doorframe. I hit my head so hard that I gave myself whiplash. Not just a mild case of whiplash, either. So bad that the chiropractor friend who looked at my xrays thought I was in a car accident. So bad that I seriously thought I may have fractured my neck. As soon as I hit, I felt my neck crunch. Then everything went black for a moment. Gosh, who would've thought that french fries could be so dangerous.
