Thanksgiving

I have so much for which to be thankful everyday. In fact, there are way too many things to list here. A few of the things though that the Lord continually brings to mind these days are His provision of a warm home, a warm bed and a warm husband with whom to snuggle, especially on these frigid, Midwest Winter nights. Thank you, Lord. I'm so very thankful, too, that the Lord chooses to bless my life through my dear husband and sweet daughter in so many ways each day and that I have the privilege of being called Wife and Mommy. On that note, I'm grateful that His mercies are new every morning no matter how many times I lose my patience with my little one--an area in which the Lord is refining me daily. Thank you, Lord!

Okay, so I wasn't going to make a list, but I have to say that I'm also very grateful for both our families and our opportunities to travel and spend time with them, especially around the holidays. Here are a few photos from our visit with our family on John's side this Thanksgiving weekend.
