We have so much to be thankful for that I am overwhelmed with the thought of listing the many things we can thank God for. So for this week, I’ll just focus on one: our family. Look at them – I am so blessed by the life of each individual in our home.

My husband – who is a kind, patient, humble, loving leader-lover He’s my best friend – the person I’d like to spend all my free time with. He makes me laugh. He keeps me going. He’s proud of me and encourages me. He loves me – and that’s the most amazing thing of all.

Becca – our first born daughter who has taught me so much about being a mommy. I love her creativity and her imagination.

Isaiah – his laughter and desire to help. His hope to someday conquer his sisters with an army of brothers.  His big grin.

Anna – her forlove  life and her sense of humor. Her desire to have sleep–overs every night. Her craziness.

Clara – her adventurous spirit, her desire to do everything everyone else is doing. Her jokes. Her singing.

Those a just a small spattering of things I’m thankful for in the precious family the Lord has given me. Such joy flows in our home because of each one of them. Now – I will add that we are by no means perfect and we have our issues and frustrations (we’re a normal family!) – but that’s not the point of this post. I’m thankful for so much when it comes to the wonderful people who fill our home. Thanks be to God for the gift of each of them.
