"Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" 2 Corinthians 9:15
That Gift is Grace. God gave me a gift that I did not deserve, that I could never be "good enough" to receive. He gave becauses He loves me(and you)- now my life is forever secure in His Grace because I chose to accept it!
As you all- we won't celebrate until Sunday- gather together with your loved ones and name the things you are "thankful for"- I pray that there is some recognition of the life, the hope, the peace, the joy, the promises, the forgiveness that can only come from Jesus Christ.
I am also thankful for Erik, Chelsea, Bradley, of course- Peterson, for our grandparents- here and gone, for our parents, for my sweet aunts who have loved me so dearly and I love so much back, for my uncle who challenges me but loves me anyway, for all my cousins, for my neices and nephews, Cindy and David, Michelle, Bridget and Klint, all my friends who have supported me and loved me through this experience to make it easier, the internet and email to stay connected, Skype and chatting with mom often, Gretchen, Haley and Sheldon living in eternal love. I have so much to be thankful for and so do you, name your blessings one by one...
Have a great Thanksgiving- I love you all!!
