1000 Thanks
Updated: I found it! Click here to go see the blog, A Holy Experience. It is about the most peaceful place you will find on the internet.
Somewhere out there in bloggy land is a blogger who does this linky party where the goal is to list 1000 thankfulnesses (is that a word?). I found it and lost it. There is a lot of blogs out there. If you know, please let me know either by e-mail or comment please! So even if I can't participate in her link up party, I did already start my own list in a cute little pink notebook I made at MOPS, the only MOPS I've been to this whole semester. I would have gone today but, phlegm hacking isn't a desirable trait in public so I stayed home. Ok, so on the the 1000 Thanks.
1. I have Eternal Life through Jesus Christ who was crucified for my sins and rose again, was resurrected and ascended into Heaven where even now He is making me one kick butt pad (thats mansion for those who don't know my street lingo, umh, ok, I watched MTV...a few times in high school over ten years ago).
2. While I am on the Earth, I am an ambassador of Heaven representing God the Father who is King and His Son, Christ Jesus through the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit (a lot, alot of direction!)
3. As such I have Diplomatic Immunity which means I am free from having to get caught up in all the junk this world tells me is important (which I have to repeat over and over "Diplomatic Immunity, Diplomatic Immunity" on the Sunday mornings when I stand in front of my closet and think about how my wardrobe isn't as cute as the Sunday School teacher's wive's.)
4. I am created by God, THE God and He already knows (not just thinks) I am beautiful.
5. What I have is what God has deemed necessary for me at this time. I do not need more money, mroe stuff, more friends, more blog followers, more comments (ehehm), better looks. God and His blessings are enough for me everyday.
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9
6. I have a husband who loves, admires and respects me (and also brings me coffee in the morning and likes to run his hands through my hair...not bragging or anything. ;)
7. I am thankful for the beautiful creation of God entrusted by God into my care that I may be a vessel of God to nurture, grow and love through me. I am a mommy.
8. Coffee
9. Creamer
10. Sugar
11. Chocolate
I will share the rest as I go. Well, I mean, now I have 47 written out but that would be one insanely long post. So, tell me some things you are thankful for.

And if you link up today, you'll still have time! Hope this helps!!!
I love how you put what you're thankful for into words. Beautiful! I am so thankful for everything, mainly that my life is in God's hands; everything that I am and everything that I have is because of God who created me. But most of all, I'm thankful for Jesus Christ who redeemed me.
I'm looking forward to the rest of your list!
