Feeling Blessed and Thankful

A tradition at my mom and dad's house is to go around the table before we eat our Thanksgiving meal and say something that we are thankful for. Well, this year I am thankful for family!! More than one family, at that! My dad recently sent me a fantastic camera that I am anxious to learn how to use (perfect hobby for me right now!). My sister gathered two HUGE bags full of maternity clothes and sent them to me in Alabama (perfect timing for my ever growing belly and slimming wardrobe!). My mother in law sent me a beautiful maternity winter coat, considering that even Alabama gets down to freezing temperatures!! I am thankful for a husband that has been so incredibly understanding (that in itself is an understatement!!!!) during my pregnancy. (My pregnancy hormones, moving, being away from family, not having many friends, no church home, and no satisfying job outside of the home...add up to an emotional Abigail!!) I am thankful for a son that continues to surprise me daily with lessons learned at school and desire to learn more at home. I am thankful for errands that get me out of the house! I am thankful that we are blessed financially and able to put great food on the table each day, and for me to stay home to provide that for Arthur and Aden. Most of all, I am thankful for my Lord that gets me through each day of life! Even when I am in a miserable mood, He is forever unchanging and is always waiting for me to seek the peace and understanding that only He can provide. God has covered Arthur, Aden, and myself in blankets of protection and love as we have face multiple circumstances over the past 6 months. So, I hope that you are feeling blessed on this Thanksgiving holiday! If you are a family member reading this...know that you are greatly missed and that I will have a TON of leftovers after making a feast for only 3 people:)
