{thankfulness}

  1. The peace I have knowing that no matter what I do or how I fail my Heavenly Father will never leave me, what a huge blessing that is so undeserved. 
  2. A wonderful husband who loves me (even though I can’t understand why sometimes) and loves being a husband and father. Who works very hard to provide for us and who loves the Lord and wants to serve Him. 
  3. My two beautiful children, I prayed for them for so long and am so thankful for them. God’s timing really is best.
  4. For parents who love the Lord and have given their lives to serve Him and bring the gospel to unreached people groups around the world. For the way they raised me and love my children and husband. 
  5. For in-laws that I like and who are really great. 🙂
  6. For our home.
  7. For the opportunity to live so close to our families right now. (I will really miss my bro when he leaves and Caleb’s siblings when they eventually move)

  9. For the way the Lord can change lives even when things seem hopeless.
