Days of Thanksgiving: Days 10-15

Here we go... Day 10-15

Day 10- Thankful for my In-Laws - I seriously have a wonderful mother-in-law. I was never fortunate enough to meet my father-in-law but I know he was one wonderful man! I also love my brother in law and his wife so much! They are such great friends and family!

Day 11- For the 13 years with my Papa. If you've ever talked with me any amount of time you know the impact my Papa Fleming had on me. That man was my world. He was the strongest Christian man I've ever met. He went home to be with the Lord in April of 2003. My life hasn't been the same and I learned a lot from his death. I've never had to experience the death of someone and for my best friend to be the one to experience, I had a really hard time. But thankful for making it through those dark days and to the point I am now where I know one sweet day I will be with him. And I will NEVER lose him again!

Day 12- My brother! I love him so much! He is four years younger and we still fight like cats and dogs. However, he is one of my best friends. We've grown so close since I got married, it really helped our relationship. I love you, Reed!

Day 13- Monday mornings. I might not always seem thankful for this. However, when Monday morning comes I know that I have a job to go to. I love my job! I do complain about Mondays and I don't enjoy always going back after two short days off, but it is so nice to have a job to go to when so many in America don't have a place to go.

Day 14- My church! I love my church! I have been a member at Poplar Springs since I was four years old. I was baptized there, raised there, married there, and still a member. Since we've been so busy lately and gone almost every weekend I've missed so much and I feel so empty! I am so thankful I have a church where I love to be to worship!

Day 15- Bible Study girls! Melinda and I met during my student teaching and now we teach together. She is such a wonderful friend! This summer she invited me to start coming to her Bible Study with her. This has been a blessing on my heart! I enjoy this group of girls! Tuesday night fellowship is one of the highlights of my week now!
