Thankful

We have had a wonderful Thanksgiving! And I am truly thankful to God that we got to spend the day with family and that we are all healthy. I am so glad that we are not in a hospital, not having chemo, and that we will get to enjoy the holiday season all together. I am thankful that God worked a miracle in our life and that He continues to bless us daily. I am thankful for my family, my friends, my church.

But most of all, I am thankful that God loved me enough to send His Son, Jesus, to take my place on that cross, to sacrifice himself for me. In one act of unconditional, inconceivable love, my sins were paid for, bought by the blood of Jesus Christ.

I hope that even if we were in a hospital, going through chemo, that I would still be thankful for that gift. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, I can still find thankfulness in my heart. I hope that I can always lift my hands in praise of our Creator and all that He has done for me. I hope you can too.

  1. Tell Abby we said Hi! Alyssa wants to know how old Abby is. She is excited that we may meet during the Christmas holiday. Alyssa has seen Abby's new bangs, and now wants bangs:)

  2. I am thankful for the way God works in my life - that He always takes care of us no matter what. I am also grateful for our health, our family, our friends, our four dogs.

    I am so very grateful for the message of hope that you share through this blog - letting others know that we can still love and live well even in the midst of terrible heart ache and pain.
