Thanksgiving


This Thanksgiving (and every day) I am thankful for:
  • God. The relationship that I have with my Saviour who loves and accepts me as I am. He refuses to give up on me and lets me work out my own kinks while He stands behind me, beside me, holding me....wherever I seem to need Him. I sure have tested it and I will never fully understand the level of His unconditional love.
  • My husband. He is everything I never knew I needed. I will spend the rest of my life wondering what I ever did to deserve him. ♥
  • My children. I am thankful for many things when it comes to my children. But for some reason, this year, I am especially thankful that they are healthy. I do not ever want to take that for granted.
  • Our families. Each and every one of them are so special to us. Our parents have been an ever present source of love and encouragement to us and it is truly scary to think about where we would be with out them. The Godly example that they have been to us and our kids means more than anything. Our sisters and brothers....you guys cheer us up, talk us down, slap us some sense, make us laugh till it hurts, help us out, and make us proud to be your siblings. And most importantly (ha ha), have given us the cutest nieces and nephews who we are completely smitten by.
  • Friends. I really include you guys in the family category....but I guess you guys are extra special because you love and support us and you don't technically have to! Well, some of you do because you work for us. Ha Ha. (Seriously, you guys (and girls!)  that work with us make it not feel like work. The fact that we get paid for the fun that we have is just a bonus. ) All of you have been exactly what we need in our lives and we are so glad that God put you there.
Oh, and one more thing...I am thankful that it is almost CHRISTMAS!!!!! Woo hoo!
Thanksgiving was wonderful! Here are some pictures....
