So much to be thankful for . . .

Last night as I put the kids to bed, our usual bedtime prayers turned into "thankful" prayers. The kids went on & on & on about all the things they were thankful for: each other, family, house, cozy beds, friends at school, safe bus rides, food (wonder who that was?), Jesus, God, heaven, my teacher, BSF, our chickens, the seasons, and many more - I can't remember them all. We had so much fun, it was so refreshing to focus on all the things we have to be thankful for! Today God gave us even more to be thankful for. Kevin had an incident at work today that left us at the ER wondering his lower legs were fractured. As we waited for x-rays results, we pondered the amazing goodness of God in protecting Kevin today. The results were negative, Kevin is bruised & very sore, but he will be fine. Sure there is a story about "what" happened, but the REAL story is that God guarded & protected Kevin today from severe injuries & we are SO thankful. From last night through today, God has reminded us that there is such JOY in our thankfulness. Join us in thanking God for His protection in our lives, but will you also lift "THANKFUL" prayers of your own. You will find your heart filled with JOY!
