Our family has so much to be thankful for this year. This time last year we were at Children's Hospital. Anna was having seizures and the doctor had given her meds that would put her to sleep for a few days, so we decided to come home to be with Livy for a day. We spent Thanksgiving day with our friends the Longs and their family. It was so good to be with people that was encouraging. This year, we get to be with all our family and we are so we thankful for that! (I get to have my grandma's cornbread dressing!! I missed it last year!)
Our miracle, Anna is super! Thank you God!
Then, my brother Jason coded on his living room floor the weekend of Easter. SO scary! But thanks be to God he woke up and amazed the doctors. He shouldn't of lived, but that's my God!
So very thankful that He is still will us. No one more thankful than Buffy I'm sure. Our God is so merciful and gracious.
I'm most thankful for my best friend and husband John. He is such a wonderful man. Thank you God for the privileged and blessing to be with him every day. Thank you for marriage!
My Olivia Grace. A source of constant joy. She says the funniest things and always makes me smile!
Thank you Lord for allowing us to be a family. We have have experienced some hard situations this year, but we have drawn closer to Christ through those times. God was so gracious to give us some happy times too. Like my sister getting married. I have a new brother! And my cousin getting married. I have a new cousin! In the midst of the bad God does so much good too. He alone gets the glory for the outcomes. It's all about Him and his purpose. We are nothing without HIM in our lives.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Hebrews 13:15
Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
