Leigh Anne says…

My husband’s job – after 24 years of uninterrupted employment, his job loss made me realize that having a job is a blessing and we can’t take that for granted.

Sherra says…

My immediate family’s health – we’ve had some extended family health crises this year that make me remember how grateful we are for our good health.

I would have to say I am most grateful for our family’s health and employment. Many of our friends are facing huge health challenges and I am reminded every day what a blessing good health is. And I am grateful that my husband has remained employed and that I was able to find a part time job. I count my blessings every day.

for health…. and a great retirement.

I’m grateful for all my kids teachers. Couldn’t raise my kids without all their help.

I am grateful for family. I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever necessarily taken them for granted, but I appreciate them more after this year. After many health problems I’ve been experiencing, including infertility issues, miscarriages, and lifestyle changes, I really appreciate more than ever my family and the support they give me as I go through these problems.

A great marriage. I was married for almost 30 years when my former spouse walked out on me. Now after six years, I am married to a wonderful man who cherishes me.

One thing I’m grateful for is my home. It’s a place my family and I can lay our heads at night and feel safe.

I have to agree with Sherra. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January and it came so out of the blue as I’ve been very healthy all of my life and felt I did not have many risk factors. I’ve learned alot this year and am doing fine and I’m grateful for all of my blessings and support.

Like others, I’m most grateful for my family’s health – especially for my husband’s. He had major heart issues this summer & survived what would have killed many. Thanks to a great EMS team & the medical teams at the hospital, he’s still here with me – giving me laughter, love & joy every day.

Thankful for home and family, friendships.
We are very blessed.

GOOD HEALTH, hands down! Have just had a basal cell carcinoma on my nose removed and so glad it was not a melanoma. My husband has had multiple back/cholesterol/foot issues that we are dealing with. thank the LORD for good insurance as well. my daughter is dealing with some minor health issues and my sister is a breast cancer survivor! Dad also has health issues so I am very thankful for every day we have with him!
