Thanks

Thank you Lord for...

1. Loving me, paying for my sinfulness, and giving me your Spirit to change me from the inside out.
2. Giving me a husband who loves his family and provides for us.
3. Blessing me with healthy, happy children who teach me far more than I teach them.
4. Designing an extended family for me that welcomes, forgives, celebrates, assists and encourages.
5. Infusing friends in our lives who don't keep score, but love us unconditionally and bring fun and laughter into our lives.
6. Providing unique work opportunities and life experiences that teach us a lot about ourselves and the world around us.
7. Always sending enough, at just the time we need it.
8. The messes everywhere that prove we enjoy life and have many luxuries.
9. The beauty of your creation all around us that speaks to us about your power, might and attention to order & detail.
10. Modern conveniences that make life...well...convenient & comfortable.
11. A husband who is extremely talented and can fix, rig and build pretty much anything.
12. A full to overflowing fridge, closet and book shelf.
13. Freedom to worship, educate and speak in the way we choose.
14. Giving us you Word so we can know you well.
15. Dade's crazy cow licks, Matia's crooked teeth, Kayla's open mouth smiles and  their lack of self-consciousness.
