Thankful Thursday

Sorry folks for the word/picture heavy post today, but beside the giveaway above, I wanted to do another Thankful Thursday. Guys, can you even believe this is the last Thursday before Thanksgiving??

If you want to link up what you are thankful for, go for it, I'll have the link-up open for a few day :)!

So today being almost a week after the horrific attacks in Paris that killed way too many innocent lives and injured hundreds more, I wanted to focus on that a bit.

I'm thankful for living in a country that so fiercely protects us. I want to thank the servicemen and women who risk their lives day in and day out for our protection, freedom and safety. Having military members in my family, I am appreciative more than ever that these wonderful folks do a great job giving up spending the holidays with their families to protect ours. 

I'm also thankful that I get to rest easy at night knowing that I'm for the most part safe. I cannot even imagine how the people of Paris are feeling after the attacks. The terror that they must live in daily to not know if last week was all or if there is more. I pray that they are able to move past and live their lives again without having that fear or terror looming over them. 

So, what are you thankful for this week? Link up below!
