Thankful A-Z

I have tried to start a blog several times and always do well in the beginning but then life happens. I have decided to try again.

Since it is Thanksgiving I thought I’d start with a I’m thankful from A to Z post.

I’m THANKFUL for....

Adventures
Brothers - Jimmy - my big brother who is no longer with us but thankful for the time I had with Him. Miss you every day butthead! Shane - my baby brother who is funny and loving. Love you baby brother!
Church - City Light Family, Cornerstone Family, Valley View Family, Abundant Life Family, RMR Family - I would not be where I am today without people from each of these places. God know where to put you and when.
