We have SO MUCH to be thankful for! Thank You God, first of all, that You are good, and Your love and mercy endures forever! I thank You that if we cannot be good enough to earn Your love and acceptance, we cannot be bad enough to un-earn Your love and acceptance, LOL. Thank You for transforming us day by day into mirror images of Your Son! Thank You for our wonderful children who love You with all their hearts, our wonderful family, and Your precious beloved ones you are adding to us – Ty, Marand, and Rachel! What a blessing and a gift they are, that You have hand picked to enrich our lives!
Thank You for the babies this year – Jonah, and Marand and Rachel’s little one that is coming!
Thank You for the wonderful miracles You have done for us this year! God completely restored my hips, which have been out of alignment since delivering Sarah, to their proper alignment, and that resulted in my legs correcting so that they are the same length again, and that alleviated pain incurred while walking! In March, when Sarah and I were in Colorado, He told me He was going to do it, and then in April while Aunt Kellie and Steph and I were at the Ringling Museum, He did it – just as were walking the museum grounds, so that was awesome! I wasn’t expecting it or looking for it at that time or praying or anything else, LOL. And then one evening when I burned my hand very badly this spring, while I was getting dinner ready, He completely healed it over night so that when I woke up the next morning there was no mark, no damage, and no pain whatsoever. The skin never even peeled on that hand. God is so good to us!
Thank You for revealing to us strategy and lies that the enemy has tried to use against us to cripple our hearts and minds, and for teaching us truth and healing our hearts, and making us overcomers in Your strength!
Dad has increased in his painting work and customers steadily all year – thank You God! Thank You for providing for us, giving us enough to live on and to be a blessing to others when they are in need!
Thank You for the time and resources You have provided so that we can see our grandchildren and our family in Colorado! Thank You for the friends we have made this year, and the relationships that have been healed and strengthened! Thank You that we are a close family and that we all love each other! There are so many with rifts and anger and unforgiveness, and we just pray for them and thank You that You have blessed our family with love, honor for each other, and peace!
Thank You for sparing us from hurricanes in Florida, and tornadoes and storms and floods and winter damage in Colorado! Thank you for blessing us with lizards who excel at keeping our home and grounds bug free!
Well, I could go on all day, LOL. It is amazing, once you sit and think about it, how good God has been to us this year. Such a overflowing wealth and abundance of grace and blessing that has been poured out on us, that it staggers the mind!
