Giving Thanks

Just taking a minute to post again. I hope everyone has had a wonderful day! We are spending the day with the Reagans. We miss our families, especially after spending so much time with them this summer. But we are so thankful for our new friends here. The Lord has really blessed us in bringing us to this place.

So what am I thankful for?

I am so thankful for the heritage God has given me. It is such a great blessing to have a Christian family. I am so glad Jamin can say the same thing. We have been given so much.

I am thankful for all the basic things in life...a nice home, a good vehicle, clothes to wear and food to eat. We have always had every need met, above and beyond. It amazes me how many times the Lord has come through and provided everything for us, only to have us forget the next time we have a need.

I am thankful for my wonderful husband. He is such a strength to me. It is such a comfort to know that he follows the Lord, and I can trust him to lead our family in the right way. As I get older, and experience more in life, I am made shockingly aware of all the broken homes around me...husbands who leave, or drink, or abuse. May I never let one day go by without thanking the Lord for the gift of a godly husband.

I am thankful for the life growing inside of me. He is getting so big, and with only 6 weeks to go, it is getting so real, so close. It hit me the other night how that it is such a miracle that God would choose to "reward" us in this way. He is blessing us with a precious life to raise for Him.

So many blessings! I could never count them all! Thank you, Lord!

Happy Thanksgiving!
