Giving Thanks

So I totally botched my month of Thankfulness!!   I'll happily admit that now so that I can move on with other posts. 

Essentially, throughout the month, I have been so completely thankful for the life of our son.  There's nothing like nearly losing a child to make you appreciate everything about children.  Even being woken up at 2 in the morning (and 4, and 6) when he's teething. 

I'm thankful for our incredible family who supported us during the toughest trial that we've experienced so far. 

And I'm thankful for a body of believers who loves us enough to care for us, meet our needs, and pray for us.  Our friends here are amazing.

Above all, I'm so thankful for salvation.  I cannot wait to introduce my children to the God who Saves, the God who is alive and real. 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I'm still not ready to switch gears and prepare for Christmas!  Life is hectic but sweet.
