Thankful

So many reasons to be thankful right now...

I live with a man who saw me, sought me, chose me, and chooses to love me. This is God's grace.

I bore a daughter and we named her Noa. She is healthy, vibrant, beautiful, and she knows Christ. This is God's grace.

I bore another daughter, and we named her Bryn. She is lovely all over, and she is strong. Her ears have heard of the goodness of the Lord. This is God's grace.

I bore a son, and we named him Emmett. He makes us all smile every day, and we laugh with joy just to hold him. He has a thick head and is quickly learning how to maneuver steps. This makes us happy. :) This is God's grace.

We have a brother and sisters all over the country. We are lifted up by Mothers and Fathers and Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and friends that know us well enough to love us honestly. This is God's grace. 

We have this beautiful Fall season to enjoy, warm drinks to stir, and yummy, yummy dishes to bake. Above all, we have an eternity to share. This is God's grace. 

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me [Paul], practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."
