50 Days of Pray: Delaware
Welcome to the 50 Days of Pray! I am representing the Small Wonder: Delaware!Thanks so much to Mark Koopmans for this idea! It's really cool how many people signed up from around the country, and even some from around the world!This has been a weird year for me with many ups and downs, so I want to end the year on a happy note and express the things I am happy for (for which I am happy lol).I am thankful for my family, crazy though they may be.I am thankful for my best friends and our friends with whom we've been hanging with for what feels like 30 days straight. The bond we have is strong, and it's good to know there are people you can be yourself around completely.I'm thankful for health. This time last year I had laryngobronchitis and couldn't speak for about 10 days. That was emotionally painful. This year, I still have a bronchitis flare up, but I can talk! Don't know what you go til it's gone. And I'm very grateful to the reason for this season, Jesus, who came down to Earth so that we all could live again. When things aren't exactly going how I would like them to, I try to remember to be grateful for at least that, because He didn't have to do it, but that's how much He loves us.I hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year, and I will see you guys in 2014. :)

Merry Christmas.
What wonderful reasons to be thankful. And the is the time of year to appreciated what Jesus has taught us. WE all should be grateful especially this time of year.
Merry Christmas Debra!
Family, friends, health and Jesus: Universal things that those who have them should be grateful for.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. :-)
I try every day to be thankful for what is a present. We have no idea how many days we will be blessed by God to be here or healthy. To give thanks daily seems such a small task in relation to the bountiful blessings we enjoy. I wish all God;s richest blessings to you and yours in 2014.
Hi Debra - I hope that throat infection doesn't get worse this year .. look after yourself and carry on enjoy the festivities.
Good luck as we think ahead .. have a happy rest of the seasonal time .. cheers Hilary
We all have crazy families to be thankful for. So glad you are thankful for yours. Here's to a wonderful 2014 for all of them.
