Thankful for my Sons

It seems like there are plenty of things that our kids do that are irritating to us as we try to teach and train them to be well-mannered, personable and helpful individuals. But the things I want to look at and point out are all the things I am truly thankful for about my boys. I am thankful for sons who always accept my hugs and actually give me plenty of hugs as well. I am thankful that my teenagers are pretty obedient, even though I know they do not always like to do what they are told. I am thankful for each of them having their own personality, and they have good personalities too! I am thankful that each one has a good sense of humor and they make me laugh. I am thankful that even though they can each be strong willed and stubborn, it is also a quality they use to stand up for what they believe in. I am thankful that as each makes their way to adulthood they still love me in spite of my mistakes, quirks and sometimes short-temperedness with them. I am thankful for my baby girl too of course, but that is a whole other thankful story!
