We should be thankful every day, as you know, but it truly helps me to stop and concentrate on gratitude once a week.

Today, I am thankful for my nieces and nephews. God has given me a special opportunity to be involved in each of their lives. (I may be known as the crazy aunt for some “odd” reason.) While I was never blessed with my own children, I have been greatly blessed with these nieces and nephews and included in their lives. It means more than I can express.

Two nieces graduate this year. They are both special and beautiful young ladies. They are so loved and have a bright future ahead. I can’t wait to see what God does in their lives!

So, today, I thank God for the special young people He has brought in my life – all of my nieces and nephews (including nephew-in-law and great nephew!)! I am blessed!
