Wow, how to choose just one.....I can't so I'll just share a few of the "best".
#1 would HAVE to be my salvation, the forgiveness of my sin, my failures, my human faults. The grace and mercy that has been extended to me from God I couldn't make it a second without Him in my Life, He bring peace when I am panicked, He brings Love when I am feeling so alone and unloved, He brings Healing when I am Broken.....He is everything I have ever needed Him to be.
"The same gentle hands that hold me when I am broken, They conquered Death to Bring me Victory" -Redeemer by Nicole C Mullins
#2 Would be Gary, (but don't tell him) He has been a Godly husband to me, one who pushes me to go on when I want to just lay down and stop fighting, one who has held me when my heart broken, who has loved me in spite of my faults, one who has told me how awesome I am when I am doubting myself or my abilities to do things, God truly blessed me when He gave Gary to me. Did I mention....well somethings you just don't mention but, as the saying goes "Holding you, I hold Everything"
3. Cayden, Tre`, Jadyn & Ethan, you all know I will fight for them. I am a calm and pretty passive person until you mess with my kids then I become.....not myself. Each of them has been such a blessing and I pray I am the mother they deserve, that I can pass to them a Love for God, and an understanding of what a relationship with God, and the Holy Ghost is. It's not about shouting, screaming or an emotional high.....it's about a Daily walk, it's being fed spiritually by God's word. It's about how you LIVE your life, not how many times you speak in tounges or run around the church. A "blessing" is just that, it's "dessert" which is absolutely wonderful but, you can't live on dessert, you need God's word, the preaching of a Godly man who preaches the Bible and not the latest "hot topic" going around, God's word, it is our daily bread. I pray I can instill in them GOOD COMMON SENSE.....of course we still have those teen years coming so that might take a while ;)

4.My family.
-My dad has lived beyond the 1-5 years the Dr. gave him, I appreciate every day he has been given, it is a gift to our whole family. I can't say it hasn't affected him It's like those huge scars he has all over his body, a reminder of God's grace knowing that we needed my dad to be here, we weren't ready for him to be taken.
I always wanted to marry somebody like my dad, who never yelled, who had endless Patience, who loved me, Gary is as close to that as I could get lol! And, my dad who always thinks I am beautiful.....ok so he does have VERY thick glasses and bad eye sight but hey who cares....He loves me.
-My mom, who has went through so much because of my dad's sickness, has become the breadwinner for them, who has to somehow make ends meet when there is nothing to pull on, who has loved my dad, who has lived out Till Death to us part, in sickness in health, for better, for worse. I know somedays it's more than she can bear and I wish I could bear it for her or at least help her but, it seems all I can do is Love her and Pray for her, maybe one day I will become what people call "Rich" and I will be able to make her life easier. My mom puts me to shame, she is constantly doing something, I am sitting saying can we quit now I am exhausted, but she keeps on through her exhaustion until every thing is finished.well.......except for those Christmas quilts she gave us 3 years ago.....they are still waiting to be finished HAHAHAHAH!
-My Sister, Thank you Jesus for giving me back my sister, For such a long time I didn't think she would ever be healed. She had always been my Best Friend, she always did everything first cause I was to scared to try things then she would say it's fine Jamie, It doesn't hurt....so then I could do them. We fought awful, but at night, I would beg her to sleep with me cause I was scared and would never admit that to nobody! I would pinch her with my toes or throw my leg on top of her which she HATES.....but she slept with me anyways! And yes I was about 16 at the time.....She would use all my hair stuff, perfume and clothes and I would be so mad, looking back if I could do it over......I would give her anything she wanted, I would be more of a big sister instead of letting her protect me I would try to protect her. Oh, and I wouldn't tie you to the piano bench.....I would let you hang out with me and all my older friends ;) I thank God for the miracle He has done in your life for pulling you from the brink of mental, and emotional Despair to restoring you. For giving me back not only my sister, but my best friend.
-Seth Micheal, how thankful I am for your salvation. You'll never know the nights I couldn't sleep for fear you would die lost, I remember laying awake at night begging God to keep you safe, to save you, to not let you die lost.....and look where you are today! We didn't fight to much cause you knew I would knock you out hehe! In my defense I also took on every boy that tied to bully you.....I remember one time grabbing a boy and swinging him around then letting him fly into a tree cause he was picking on you! Nobody had better mess with you when I was around....I love you and always have in spite of being such a moody big sister ;)
-Jeff Thanks for loving my sister....those are such simple words but, they say a lot to you and me. I love you and I am so thankful God gave you to Holly
Sarah- I love you, your the best thing that could have happened to Seth. Your one of my Best Friends, I love you!!!
-Whit ,Levi and Gavin and Taylor, so thankful for my neices and nephews, the Best friends of my children. I love you all 4!
