The beautiful healthy safe happy boy bouncing in his jump-a-roo right next to me
The warm, safe, and dry home I live in
The husband I love that will soon walk in the door to have lunch with his little family
The parents that raised me to know Christ and to know love that we will be with in two weeks
The teenager that was once the annoying little bro that has turned into the funny, fun, cool, talented brother and friend.
The parents that raised Paul in a Christian home and taught him how to be a husband and father
The grandparents and aunt and uncles that Charlie has that I love so much and I know love him so much
The church we have grown to love and that feels like family
The friends that I know we will have forever
The King of Kings that became a man, the lowest of men, that we might know Him, follow Him, and be with Him forever- that He would draw me, shameful sinner that I am, into relationship with Him.
What are you thankful for today?
