Top Ten Fridays: Thanksgiving

Top Ten Things I am Thankful For:

10) Nature - trees and especially the mountains.

9) Canada - We live in a wonderful country with many freedoms and luxuries that other countries do not have. We take it for granted, even during an economic crisis.

8) Books - What would I do without something to read??

7) Coffee & Chocolate - Though this may seem trivial, it is important to me. I am sure I could live without them if I had to...

6) Music - What can I say about this? I am a singer and music has always been a part of my life.

5) Friends - They are there for you when you need them. They love you and they are not related to you - they do it by choice. That is amazing and wonderful.

4) Family - They support me in everything - both my family and my in-laws. They are wonderful.

3) Children - What a blessing it is to be able to have two wonderful children that God created. What an awesome resposibility, as well. I love them both so much and can't remember life without them. I wouldn't trade it for the world!!

2) Husband - What can I say...He is my rock. My heart. My best friend. My soulmate. My love for him continues to grow everyday. Who knew that I could love someone so much?

1) Jesus - The ultimate gift. The ultimate blessing. There is none like You, God. None who would send their only Son to die for a sinless people. You are amazing and I am in awe of Your love and grace continually. Thank-You for Jesus. You are amazing!! I am unworthy....

To all my Canadian friends and family, Happy Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful time with your families and eating that delicious turkey!

Tuesday Tunes 8: Filling up the Void

I keep coming across all of these wonderful Christian songs lately. This is one of them. I never watched the season of American Idol where Mandisa was a contestant. So, I am new to her stuff, but I love her voice and her honesty.

It just seems to me that with everything that I am learning in my Bible study, this song seems so appropriate and timely. (As do many other current events...I will write on those tomorrow, so stay tuned!!)

I hope I am not alienating any of you with my song choices of late. I am just choosing songs that have touched me. Sometimes they are Christian and sometimes they are secular. In any case I hope that you can enjoy this song for what it is.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy!!
