Thankfulness Thursday

I am thankful for the wonderful family I have. A husband who desperately loves me. Children who adore me. A sister/friend that lives vicariously through me, and I through her. Parents who live next door and watch my children so Ronnie and I can date!

I am thankful for medical intervention and midwives who are cautious. I am thankful for them, even though they live in a flawed system and practice against the patients desires. I am thankful that they have delivered healthy children to me, and each child has been in my arms sooner than the previous.

I am thankful for this body I live in. Though it is flawed, it serves it's purpose well. It helps me care for my family, and it gets me where I need to go.

I am thankful that my bankruptcy will be over soon, and we will be free from the debt which ensnared us. Free to discipline ourselves with the income we have. Free to save for a new house. Free to put money aside for the children's college, or whatever. Free to give.
