One of those nights when your looking at the ceiling and and wishing you could turn your thoughts off and sleep. So there is a million reasons I can't sleep i suppose; however how do you pick which reason?

Thanksgiving is this week and thinking of the thanksgivings from when I was a little girl and my daddy grilling the turkey in his make shift cinderblock grill. The turkeys always turned out and his rolls were like fluffy clouds, him being so much older than most dads it amazed me watching him get up at 4am and start cooking for our family. 

So I guess some reason I can't sleep is missing my family and being so grateful that all my children are under one roof and are happy and healthy and such a blessing even when they are fighting lol.

Another reason is just being so over filled with gratefulness of so many things how do you thank God for all of it? Being Saved, my gifts, my children, children in my life that I love, Timber, heather , Brandon Elizabeth and baby boy Bryson, friends those who have came and gone, my job,my boss and friend,seeing the world changing everyday,my parents,my upbringing, my strength and faith to all the little insignificant moments and things I never even think of and thats alot, my cup is running over.

Maybe I'm awake cause I know this world is changing. My dad was born in 1927 and he has seen so many things at 86 and I want to remember everything and pray God allows me to have a long life with a good memory as well.

Maybe cause there is so many in the world that need prayer; I pray for our leaders of this country, for Israel for their children and citizens, for my own children and generations that God will bless with them all one day.
