Gobble 'til You Wobble

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

We've been MIA lately but it's only because life is getting much busier as we close in on the holidays. I pray you have an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and that you truly gobble 'til you wobble. And then take a nice, long nap.

The year 2009 has been one of ups and downs for our family but we truly have much for which to be thankful. Here's the short list:

• Our fabulous Disney vacation
• Our health
• Our jobs
• The Father
• The Son
• The Holy Spirit
• The fact that my daughter and my stepdad were baptized within a week of each other during the summer
• Our church family
• The opportunity to give back to our community through volunteer work
• A daughter who suffered a very unfortunate injury last month but who has amazed us with her courage and determination to get right back in the groove
• That our pets are still alive (they've truly acted horribly lately and I'm sure they're thanking God for their lives today as well :-)
• The chance to live in a free country
• Multiple Thanksgiving meals!
• Friends and family far and near who bless us richly, cry with us freely and support us no matter what

If you're reading this, know that I am thankful for you as well. And that we pray this entire holiday season will bring you nothing but joy.
