So Thanksgiving is only days away and I have yet to sit and think about what I'm thankful for...now's a good time to start!
For one, I'm thankful I don't have to get a tonsilectomy!!! I'm thankful I was loaned "The Shack" and have had the pleasure of reading it this week. I'm thankful for my small group and Francis Chan's book "Forgotten God".
I'm thankful that my brother and sister -in-law and my nephews have moved back home. It's such a blessing to see my children get to be close to family they haven't really seen much of over their short lifetime. I'm thankful for the vision God has given them and I'm very thankful for their obedience!
I'm thankful that my son's starting to talk more and I'm seeing improvement everyday! I'm thankful that he's my cuddle bug and runs arms open wide and tackles me with the biggest hug he can muster! I'm thankful my daughter is full of personality and adds sunshine to my day! Her songs and dances (wether made up or learned) always make me smile! I'm thankful that I get the chance to grow up again by sharing life with them. Everything is magical again and I'm loving it!!!
I'm thankful for a husband who could have only been made for me! He is everything I need and ever wanted; he is truly my "other lung" ;). Even with all our faults and trials we've faced...I still see us as "Craig and Kristen - the couple with the fairytale romance." He is a living, breathing example of how Christ loves the church!
Most of all, I am thankful for Jesus and everything He gave up to become a human and die for me. I am thankful that even though I don't deserve it and anyone else given my lack of gratitude and understanding would've given up and walked away - He still clung to that cross to reconcile me with His Father! The fact that He loves me more than I could ever love my children is beyond comprehension but wow, it feels good trying to wrap my head around it!
I have so much to be thankful for! Always know that I am thankful for you and for God placing you in my life. I pray He shows Himself in a new way to you this week and gives you even more understanding of how thankful you should be!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
