Family Journal - Happy Thanksgiving!!

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! Psalm 105:1



Thankful Journal

I guess it would be appropriate to start this particular journal today of all days. And hopefully continue throughout the rest of the year.

I had the kids write what they were thankful for: E wrote the top one about free country, Betty drew the thing that is supposed to be a cat and a dog, Z drew a fire station and truck and L wrote family.

I am thankful for all those things and these too (in no particular order):

1. hubby getting up in the middle of the night
2. God not leaving me where I am
3. kids who seek to please
4. Chai tea
5. a boy who cries out of relief because he got his cast off
6. good news
7. laughing with my 11yo daughter
8. reading a good book
9. "Hank the Cowdog" jokes
10. a long hug from my not-so-huggy 6yo

but that's not all...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Home Journal - Good Report

Just a quick update on L's arm saga. He went back to the doc 10 days after surgery for a check up. While we were in the waiting room (for an hour), he leaned over and said, "Mom, can we pray that my arm will be straight and I won't have to get a pin put in?" Yes. After the doc looked at the X-ray, he said, "It couldn't look better." L got a sheepish grin on his face (because he's kinda shy) and the doc gave him a high five. On the way out to the car in the parking lot, L said,"Boy, when we get back to the car, let's pray and thank God for my arm." I told him that he didn't have to wait until we got in the car. So, he let out a loud "Thank You, God." in the parking lot. Amen. Don't ya love it when your kid gets it? So be it, Lord.
