30 Things I'm Thankful to God for in 2014

I started this list wanting to do a thanksgiving for each day of November and also walking through what all He's done for us this year. I thought I would be overwhelmed trying to come up with 30 but this list took me less than 10 minutes and I could have gone on for so much longer! It was great to remind myself that God has given me SO VERY MUCH to be thankful for each and every day!  I am so thankful to my God and Savior this Thanksgiving day for being a living and active God in my life!
