I wanted to take a moment to write about all the things we are thankful for. I wish I do that more often, just stop and think of all the things God has blesses us with. Well, the list is huge, so I will only mention the main things.
2010 Thanksgiving
That was our first Thanksgiving together as married couple. We are very thankful to be married and to be able to celebrate this wonderful holiday together.
2010 Christmas
We had the opportunity to fly to the States and celebrate Christmas with Chris’ family. We are thankful for Dave and Karen who bought us tickets so that we could be with them for a whole month. We enjoyed our time here and were able to meet some of Chris’ extended family members I never had a chance to meet before. They are a lot of fun!
2011 FebruaryAmy Leigh James was born. We are grateful for God’s provision all through the pregnancy. Both Amy and I were in danger and God organized things so that both of us could be healthy. I believe some would call Amy’s birth a miracle, I rather say it was God’s provision. We are so happy to have her. She is a joy to be around.
2011 May
We had our 1st wedding Anniversary. It’s amazing a whole year has past since our wedding. Chris every day tells me “Thank you for marrying me”, he wouldn’t go to bed without saying it. Sometimes more times a day. I think it’s sooo sweet. I really am thankful!
2011 SeptemberWe left WOL. We are very thankful for the many years we could study and work there. We love the staff, miss them very bad. It was a joy to be with them and are looking forward visiting them someday. Also, we are looking forward the staff visiting us when they go to furlough. We already have a few of them who promised to meet with us this summer. ; )
We are also very thankful that my parents let us be with them for a month before we left for the States. We wanted them to have as much time with Amy as possible. They definitely did. She started to sit, crawl, stand up that month. I think she just wanted to show off : ).
We are thankful for Chris’ job at WTHI, channel 10. It is awesome that he could get a job so soon and that he loves it! Hearing my husband’s name on TV makes me very proud. : )
We are very thankful for Dave and Karen. They let us live with them for as long as we need it. It’s a huge help. They also introduced us to their church back in December and we attend that church since we arrived.
2011 Thanksgiving
We spent Thanksgiving with Karen’s mom and brothers. It was great. Karen cooked turkey and made an amazing meal. We are definitely very thankful for that! : )I think of all our friends all over the world and it makes me smile. We are very thankful for the friends God blessed us with. From school, WOL, church. And of course our family.
Day by day there are plenty of things we are thankful for. God is good, He is good all the time.
We wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving!
