I have such a thankful heart as this year comes to a close. This year has been so full and as i look back at how far we have come i can’t help but marvel at the Lord’s grace and goodness.

I am thankful for a husband who loves me and whom I love more than life itself.

I am thankful for the blessing of work and for the way Andrew supports our family with incredible selflessness.

I am thankful for my darling parents and siblings whom i adore, who have supported me and loved me unconditionally over my life more than i could possibly deserve.

I am thankful for family and friends who have encouraged me in my dreams and without whom i wouldn’t be where i am today.

I am thankful for a church that is rich in the Word and strong in Christ’s love.

I am thankful for the new family i married into that are far more beautiful and full of love than i ever could have prayed for.

I am thankful for our wee community and the sweet faces that i have come to know and love in this town called San Diego.

I am thankful for the gift of education, of clean running water, of excellent hospitals and a war free country. All of which i take for granted far too often.

I am thankful for a Savior who loves and forgives and gives of Himself that we might know what it is to actually live and be truly loved.

What are you thankful for?
