Today I’m thankful…
…for the sister-in-law my brother will bring into the family in just over a week (I enjoyed going out with her to the reception place last night to figure out our decorating plan!)
…for the outlaws the self-same event will bring into the family (It’s been fun making candles with John and Joanna…and Kayla and Nellie and Tim)
…for the sisters who are currently enjoying themselves together far away from me :-( (In truth, I’m glad Anna and Grace are having a chance to hang out together for this week or so between school getting out and the wedding.)
…for the brothers who let me set the pace on my bicycle, who offer me a “complimentary” water cup at McDonalds, who tell me their ridiculously misogynist stories about falling in Love, and who give me rides in their cars.
…for the Mama who lets me quote my memory verses to her as she irons the hem on a dress, who hears my blather and prays for me.
…for the Papa who puts up with my incessant linking and comments back on this issue or the other.
…for the God who has adopted me into His family, making me a child of God and joint heir with Christ (Rom 8:14-17)… and who has given me this family, bonded by blood and faith.
I am blessed beyond measure.
