every year there's so much to be thankful for...but this year especially i am giving thanks in a whole new way.
First there are all the things that are easy to be thankful for this year:
my husband {my biggest blessing}
my {unborn} son, but my son nonetheless {I can already tell he’s gonna try to steal my heart from his daddy}
my dog Mea {my little furry companion especially during the evenings when Curtis is in school}
my little white house {that’s so small but so cozy}
my family {and Curtis’ family that is now my family too}
my church {who are quickly becoming another extension of our family}
Then there are all the things that took place this past year which some may think of as unusual to be thankful for:
the gift of infertility {which led to}
the gift of adoption {which hasn’t quite been realized yet, but has been a gift I’m not certain we would ever have chosen if it weren’t for not being able to get pregnant easily – although I hope it would’ve been}
the gift of morning sickness {which didn’t seem like much of a gift for the first four months of my pregnancy, but even still, every day that I felt awful was just another reminder of what amazing thing was happening inside of me}
the gift of migraines {because without having migraines, I would never know how great being nearly migraine free could be}
the gift of debt {because now we’re weeks away from being out of it and it has changed the way we will forever view our finances for the better}
the gift of an uncertain future {which has caused faith to grow and doubt to diminish}
those are just a few of the things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving.
What are you thankful for?
