Today I’m thankful…<\/b><\/p>\n

…for the sister-in-law<\/b> 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!)<\/p>\n

…for the outlaws<\/b> 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)<\/p>\n

…for the sisters<\/b> 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.)<\/p>\n

…for the brothers<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n

…for the Mama<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n

…for the Papa<\/b> who puts up with my incessant linking and comments back on this issue or the other.<\/p>\n

…for the God<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n

I am blessed beyond measure.<\/p>\n
