Confessions of a thankful bride

Why hello November! How in the world did you creep up so suddenly!? Nevertheless you come bearing my favorite season of them all and the promise of all things good that are to come!
Every one seems to be sharing things they are thankful for and I figured if everyone else can think of things (some down right absurd) to be thankful for then I may as well share the awesomeness that I have been blessed with! It's obviously day 5 and though I am just now sitting down to write this out my list has been banging on the doors of my heart recently.
So here I go!!

Day 1:
I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father! Because of His unconditional love for me I forever have a home with Him in glory! Not by works that I have done but because of His sacrifice for me on the cross of Calvary. Praise Jesus for the awesome realization that Christ wants me and loves me enough to never let go! thank you Daddy for my salvation!

Day 2:
I am thankful for my prince. I know every girl believes she has found a prince charming but I must confess I have found the one that makes all the others look like Gaston :) I am so in love that it I feel as though my heart couldn't possibly love this man even the tiniest bit more and then he goes and does the dishes, or wakes up with the baby, or gives me sweet forehead kisses when he thinks I am asleep and I fall that much more in love!!
Day 3:
I am thankful for our precious little munchkin man Isaiah. Hands down we really have the most adorable little guy EVER! It's crazy to think he has his own personality already and it is so humbling to see his sweet spirit shining through already! I am thankful for his morning smiles and hugs and the way he makes me feel like the funniest chick around!
Day 4:
I am thankful for broken chains!!! Praise Jesus I have been redeemed and am no longer held captive by the sin that so easily binds us. I have been blessed to be married to a man who reminds me that I have been called out and set apart from the ties that have broken my spirit my whole life. I no longer have to cower in defeat from the lies of satan.
Day 5:
I am thankful for a wonderful church family that we really can call our own! A church that has taken us under their wings and cared for us in time of need when they really knew nothing other than we were the new couple. Thank you Daddy for instilling in your children the call to love like You.

There is so much more to come!!!
I am excited to share just a few of the many many things I have to be thankful for this month and the many ways the Lord has blessed our tiny family!
