Thankfulness


I am thankful for wonderful families stepping up and supporting sweet children in St. Vincent.  All ten students at the Wise Preparatory Preschool have sponsors in the United States.

I am thankful that even through my questions and wanderings, my God still loves me and wants me.

I am thankful that though our hearts are broken and our whys may never get answered, our sweet boy has all the answers, and one day we will too.

I am thankful my sweet Gavin has Jesus face to face, and that my sweet Lyndlee understands more about heaven, and Jesus' great love.

I am thankful for my husband who works so hard to provide for our family and loves everyone as Jesus loves.

I am thankful for a church that teaches us to love and serve as Jesus serves;  a church that teaches my daughter more about the Father's Love.

I am thankful for my super smart five year old daughter that has a huge heart and love for others.

I am thankful for my sweet ornery boy who continues to teach me even while we are apart.

I am thankful for the cross, for the Father's Love and that this is not the end.

I am thankful for three pumpkins on my porch that represent my three children that the Lord has given me.

There are many hurdles and prayers still before our third child comes home to us.

But I will keep trusting, keep serving, keep loving, and being thankful.
His plans for our life continue to surprise me and I still ask questions.

But I am so thankful He loves me.
