... a husband that loves me more than himself
... holding a baby and him being so still I think he's asleep, and then I look down to find two big blue eyes staring at me
... for my new rain boots from my grandmother. I've always wanted a pair - now I have some!
... for my life and my home. I'm thankful that we have a roof over our head, a working toilet, air conditioning - and a leather couch. :)
... for a johnny jump up that sometimes gives me arms a break from carrying around this 15 lb baby.
... for a little Brayden that teaches me about love and grace.
I'm thankful for passages of Scripture that reach up and grab me, pull me into their truths and I know that God is speaking to ME. Remember how I was feeling "forgotten"? Yesterday I had a moment to myself, and I took advantage of it by opening my Bible. I didn't know where to read since I'm not on any type of a "plan" right now (and don't want to be for the moment....remember I'm an all or nothing type person.) i opened up to Isaiah chapter 49.
14) Yet Jerusalem says, "The Lord has deserted us; the Lord has forgotten us."
15 ) "Never!" Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?
But even if that were possible, I would not forget you.
16 a ) See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.
I know those words were written for me...today I feel thankful.
