Thankful.So.Very.Thankful

I am a few days late, but I would still like to talk about Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday because of all that it represents. I love that it isn't an overly commercialized materialistic holiday. As a vegetarian I don't get too excited about the turkey or any of the food really, well, maybe the pie. I love that it is a holiday that celebrates all the things we are thankful for, and there is so much to be thankful for.
My Lord and savior
My amazing husband
My friends and family
God's Promises and Provision
A boy in Ethiopia that will become our son
Our sons birth family
Our home
Jobs
...and so much more

My heart fills with joy and anticipation and my eyes well up with tears when I think about having our precious boy at the table next Thanksgiving.
