Wow ... so much to be thankful for this year.
A God that is gracious, loving, giving and forgiving.
My husband and children ... in more ways than I could count. They bring me joy and laughter. Humility and warmth. Smiles and comfort. They are my life.
Loving and supportive family and friends. Fullness and fellowship.
My home. Not fancy, but perfectly us.
Food.
The luxuries of our everyday life.
And the simple fact that 11 years ago today my Bub was born. Thanksgiving 1999. A day that I can recall like yesterday. It's amazing to look at him now, remember that day 11 years ago and think on all the moments and memories of the time in between.
There is no love like a mothers love. And it's true ... I fell in love with him the moment he was put in my arms. I was in awe. And still am. With each new season of his life, I love him even more. I believe that it's more than love as he is getting older ... I really like him. He is a genuinely nice boy with a loving heart, and a unique personality. We have fun just being together. Reading, playing chess, baking cookies, drinking tea or grocery shopping. We spent time playing his new Madden 11 football game. I don't know a whole lot about the sport (just from watching his season) and certainly nothing about video games ... but he was an awesome teacher. I never scored, but could not have had a better time.
(waking up to a dusting of snow ...)
It's now late. I'm listening to the rain beat down outside and the silence inside. So peaceful ... a moment alone with my thoughts.
Thank you Lord for all you giving me.
Happy 11th Birthday Bub! You simply amaze me ... I love you.
Happy Thanksgiving ...
