Giving Thanks!

Giving thanks.. What is Thanksgiving about? Well read on:
A psalm, for giving thanks. Psalms 100:1-5 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
God says that we should be thankful for EVERYTHING, not just one thing. We should also be thankful every day not just on the day of Thanksgiving. I know that I am thankful for everything in my life, even the bad. I say that I am also thankful for the bad because God we never put anything on me that I would not be able to handle, and he also does everything for a reason. I am thankful that he gave me the chance to be able to me a mother even though my babies were taken from me earlier than I would have ever wanted. I am thankful that I was able to have 21 years with my daddy even though I would have loved to have more time with him. But once again I say that I am thankful for the time that I have been given with each person that I have lost and that I am thankful for the time that I am still able to have with the people that are still here on earth.. I honestly think that some people do not understand how thankful they should be. Such as my sister, instead of being thankful that we still have our mom here with us for us to make more memories with her she wants to be mad at her all the time. She spends most of her time mad or upset over something so small instead she should be looking through all that anger and realize that God has given us more time with her mom. It just makes me so sad and angry that she could act the way that she is acting. I do understand that Diane is hurt but I honestly believe it is time for her to grow up and realize that she is not a little girl anymore. Momma does not have to be there to hold her hand every second of the day. Like I told mom, Diane has no reason to be so upset over momma having a life now that daddy is in heaven because she does not get upset or mad at us for having our own lives. What if mom was to call Diane and tell her ok I will not have a life anymore if you stop having one too… nope that would not work and Diane should not want mom to not have a life anymore. Like I said before Diane needs to realize how lucky, blessed and thankful she should be. She has a wonderful daddy who is no longer here but is watching over her every day, a beautiful wonderful momma who loves her more than life its self, a brother and sister who also love her more than anything in this world, and most of all 2 beautiful, smart, healthy children. .. The point to all this is Diane didn’t come to thanksgiving dinner last night. That was the first time that our family has not been together for a holiday… other than daddy not being able to be there for the last 3 years. Mom was really upset and it just made me sooooo darn mad at Diane! And another thing my dads mom, grandma, was down and she was wanting to see Diane and the kids and plus it just gave my dads family another thing to talk about, being since we have always been the talk of the family! I am sorry for venting, I know that it is thanksgiving and I promise I am very thankful for everything in my life, but I am also upset because of all this.. Another thing we went to see Justins Granny today, she is not doing well at all. She can not walk anymore, can barely talk and all she is doing is sleeping. I know that she has lived a long life, 94 years, but that does not make it any easier. She did tell us that she loved us and gave us all a big ole hug, and she said Sashas name which made Sas break down. I am thankful to this woman more then anyone will ever know.. she has let me live in her house for almost 7 yrs. Even more she met me. I love this woman for more than just that though, she is a great woman who has worked hard to have a great life. I am thankful that God is letting her be able to be at home surround by family instead of being in the hospital because that is the only thing she has asked Tara (justins sister) for. She does not want to be in a hospital she wants to be at home when she joins our heavenly father.
Anyways, always remember your blessings because they are there everyday. Thank you God for allowing me to have so many wonderful blessings, even the bad ones. I love you very
