Thankful for Bacon

I was tucking Allie into bed the night before Thanksgiving, and I was explaining what Thanksgiving Day was all about. I told her that I was thankful for her, for dad, for the baby, for Jesus and she replied that she was thankful for GG & Papa. I continued to tell her that I was thankful for food, our house, our cars, our health and she replied, "I'm thankful for bacon." Kids really do say the funniest things.
Thanksgiving morning I was watching Allie eat her scrambled eggs and I just had the most thankful heart that my daughter has never known hunger. What a horrible feeling that would be. I'm so grateful that we are able to provide for her needs.

I'm so grateful for all that my Father in Heaven has given me. We are so blessed.

So true. I've thought about that before too...how hard it would be to see your child go hungry. What a darling picture of her!! She's a beauty :)

and jill, i agree with your sentiment 100%. Sometimes when I am feeling sorry for myself, I kick my pouty feelings out the window with that very thought.
