Gratitude Friday…

AKA: The Return of the List!

I know you were all on pins and needles waiting to see when The List would finally make its triumphant return. And now your wait has come to an end.

But have no fear. I’m 103% certain there will be more long diatribes on various topics someday very soon. In fact, I can confirm there are several already bouncing around in my head but they need more time to really mature.

Meaning, they don’t make a whole lot of sense right now but I’m hoping they will soon.

1. Sunshine – It has been rainy, overcast weather here for the past three weeks. And I would be really okay if it stopped. Today however, the sun is peaking through the clouds every now and then. I love feeling the sun on my face and the warmth around me. Almost like a big bear hug for God. Warm and bright.

2. Cards – Some sweet friends have sent me cards this week. I love opening the envelope and seeing their handwriting. It’s so personal and intimate. And it brings a smile to my face every time I open the card to hear Lean on Me playing.

3. Kickin’ it – Stephanie’s little guy is kickin’ her these days. What a miracle! Our God is good. Every day He is good.

4. Birthmothers – I can’t even begin to imagine this kind of sacrifice. I have no idea if we’ll be led to adopt but I know if that’s the only way we can grow our family, we will do so gladly. Right now the entire process is totally scary. But I know if that is the Lord’s plan for our lives, He’ll make it exciting. I’ve been praying for these women, both who carry the children and those who give their embryos for adoption, for a couple of months. I know the Lord will use those prayers to point my heart in that direction if that’s His plan.

I hope you stand in God’s sunshine and thank Him for the miracles and blessings all around you. Have a wonderful weekend!
