Thankful

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I thought I should dedicate a blog post to the things that I am thankful for this year.

In no particular order:

I am thankful that the adoption of my three daughters is coming along. I know that it all is happening in God's timing. We hope to be finalized next March, which will be a great way to start 2010. I am thankful that all three girls have chosen to call us Mom and Dad.

I am thankful for my husband. He loves his job, but work is still work, and I am thankful that he provides so well for us. I am thankful that he puts up with my little quirks and loves me because of them. I am thankful for our 12 years of marriage, and that he is a strong believer.

I am thankful for all seven of my children, and my three former foster children who we still get to love like our own. I am grateful for a year where they were healthy and grew in their faith.

I am grateful for my friends, who stand by me no matter what. I am thankful that God has brought me to a place in my life where I have Christian women whom I love.

I am thankful for my grandmother, who has always encouraged me. I know there will come a time when she will no longer be with me on earth, and I am grateful that I will get to see her in heaven.

Finally, I am thankful for my blog readers. God laid this blog on my heart, and I would write for that reason even if no one read a word of it. But you all make it so enjoyable for me, and I truly am thrilled that you keep coming back. You are the blessing for my obedience. Thank you.

I hope everyone has a wonderful night! This would have been a night that I wouldn't have blogged at all, since today was very busy. But I am thankful for NaBloPoMo for making me sit down and write all of this out. I go to bed with a smile in my heart.

Goodnight! :)
