Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday....

Joining: It's a Small Town Life




Today my heart is overflowing with gratitude for my husband, "My Heart Keeper"....(Sam)

I want to give a big ol' shoutout to our POP's ...the man who can fix anything, the one who always knows where I left my phone, and the very heart of our family.  

Sam is the definition of kind and steady.....a loving husband, wonderful father, proud grandfather, and now an amazing great-grandfather.  He's the man who can tell a story better than anyone.....He may add a few characters to the story or make a few twist and turns, but just know this....his stories are always so fun and exciting.  Never boring!!!

I am thankful for the way he loves his family.  I'm thankful for his sense of humor that can brighten the dullest day.  I am thankful for his heart that's as big as TEXAS.  
Life is the best with him .... even when he's got the TV remote and I'm stuck watching his shows...with the volume turned Up, Up, and UP ↑↑↑↑ 

This Thankful Thursday is all about my "HEART KEEPER"....he's my favorite guy, my partner in crime, my porch sittin' sweetheart.  

Happy Birthday Sam!!

Everyone...enjoy your day!!!

Shug....💜

    1. Isn't it wonderful to be in love and for your spouse to be a God send? The good Lord really Blessed me and sounds like He gave you a sweet Blessing as well.

  11. Awwww ... this is the Best post ever. I love that he is your Heart Keeper...he definitely is a Keeper !!!
    I laughed right out loud when I read about the remote. That's the way we "watch tv" too.
    Last night I watched an absolutely boring documentary as HE watched through his eyelids clutching the said remote. Sigh, maybe I learned something in spite of myself. (:0)

    1. Same...I look over and Sam is half asleep. Sometimes I gently lean over and grab the remote...he usually never knows that I turned the volume down. lol

    1. We have so many Sams in the family...lol. My Sam is the III, named after his dad and grandfather. We have a niece named Samantha and we call her Sam, and then nephew in law named Sam. Christmas can get weird ..we have to make sure we have the names all correct.
