Sometimes I think we can become pretty unthankful/ungrateful for the things we have. I'm thinking today of what a 'crime' that is, really. God has blessed us in so many unspeakable ways...even what we may see as 'curses' or bad things are really blessings in disguise, if in fact we are His children. (And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. - And even if you are not of His, He still blesses you in ways -- it says in Hebrews that He makes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
Romans 8:28)
Sometimes it is hard to see the blessings in the trials and tribulations and hard times, but nevertheless, the blessings are there and are abundant! I have seen this many many times in my life...especially since being married. God is so good to us! What a Father we have! Let us be thankful and give praise to our God for His unspeakable gifts!!
Today I am baking breads and getting things ready for Friday (the day my family gets together for Thanksgiving). I am excited to see all of our loved ones! I hope lots of people come! :)
I am getting more pregnant looking day by day. I went from 'flat to fat' in about 3 - 4 weeks! Crazy! :) Little baby is moving all over the place now. It is so much fun to just sit and watch him. I think Chad is having fun with it too. We continue to pray for wisdom in the days ahead as we prepare for baby's coming. We have a few decisions to make and things to get done. Hopefully we can get a room ready in time. Chad will be traveling for work soon again and will be gone about 4 weeks out of the next 2 months. We are also planning on going to Florida for 1 week in January, so hopefully in all this we can find time to be prepared and such. :)
I hope you all have a very wonderful Thanksgiving day. I pray the Lord will teach us to be more thankful from day to day and to realize who and what God is for us!
Till next time ~ Blessings
