A month of thanksgiving

Lately, as I hold your tired, limp, slumbering body

in my arms at night,

sniffing your clean, fuzzy bird hairs,

and closing my eyes,

taking you in completely,

I find myself reciting the

same phrase over and over

"Thank You Jesus for this baby!"

You are a gift that I am forever

thankful to raise and love.

you are a precious gift.

I am truly blessed beyond measure

and can not wait to spend my days

building sand castles with you

and watching you grow up.

I am thankful for the husband who fights

for me when I am not much to fight for.

I'm thankful for a God who holds

us tighter, loves us regardless,

thinks we're incredible,

shows us mercy,

and draws near to us when we cry out for Him!

What are you thankful for today?
