OK, this isn't one of the plain ole humdrum "I'm thankful for my family" kinds of threads. Let's be a bit more specific!
If you're thankful for your family...think of a specific reason WHY you're thankful for at least one of those people.
If you're thankful for being alive...WHY?
If you're thankful for God...WHY?
And so on...you get the point!

I am thankful for my husband. He is a wonderful provider. Although we work together now, it wasn't always this way. But he has NEVER been without a job for any length of time. He's not a drinker, he doesn't go out with his friends, he's always home with his family!
I'm thankful for each of my kids and all of their differences.
Although my daughter (17) has made some poor choices in her life, she's a good kid that is trying to get through life the best she knows how. Even though she is too young to be a mother (and I am too young to be a grandma
), we have been blessed with a beautiful little granddaughter! AND, she is at least still in high school and on her way to getting her diploma soon!! YEAH!
My oldest son (16), he's so smart! Always on the honor roll, has a BIG heart and I am simply amazed at his responsibility of making good decisions (example: On Halloween night, he stayed HOME because all of his friends were going out and doing things he didn't agree with. They were shooting paint balls at kids and taking their candy, vandalizing people's property and so forth!).
My next son (12) has an awesome head on his shoulders! He has great common sense and is a very hard worker. He's very smart, but his smarts come more from life than text books! He learns from his siblings mistakes (and other kids as well) and vows to not make the same mistakes. He is full of LOVE and LIFE!
My youngest son (6) is also very smart! He's a little too young yet to determine where he is going in life, but he has a great love for the Lord, and that alone I am happy about.
I am also thankful that God supplies our every need, while He is never early, He is always right on time!!!
And finally, I am so very THANKFUL for each and every one of you here on this forum! I have learned so much from all of you. I have learned a great many things from the atheists as well as fellow believers. My eyes have been opened and I now have a much better knowledge of people than I ever have!
Thanks to you ALL!
