As we approach this holiday season, what are you thankful for?

As Thanksgiving approaches, my heart swells with immense gratitude for the abundant blessings in my life. Most of all, I am deeply thankful for my loving, faithful God who guides me through each day. Even in times of trial, I can feel His presence lifting me up and giving me strength. I know that all good things in my life ultimately come from Him.

I am also tremendously grateful for my beloved husband and our beautiful children. They bring me so much joy and fill our home with laughter and love. I cherish the precious time we spend together - especially during the holidays when we gather around the table and give thanks as a family. I am so thankful for their health, their bright spirits, and the gift of being their mom.

In addition, I want to express my gratitude for the roof over our heads and the cozy place we call home. I never take for granted having a warm, safe space to live and create memories together as a family. I also want to acknowledge what a blessing it is to have steady income through my passion of creating art for COLORME. I am able to use my God-given talents to contribute to our household financially.

Furthermore, I am grateful that our family continues to enjoy good health. It's a gift I never want to take for granted. Even as I get older, I strive to care for my health through proper nutrition and exercise so that I can keep up with my active family! I am so very blessed.

This Thanksgiving, my heart overflows with love and gratitude for these abundant gifts from above. I will keep my eyes focused on the many blessings in my life as I reflect on how thankful I am for my faith, family, home, work, and health.
