This is a season of thankfulness. A time of year designated in America for gratefulness. Thank You Lord that you orchestrated this holiday season to slow us down and make us reflect. Even though we should be in this attitude all year long, You know we are not. We struggle, we are so selfish, we are so spoiled.
Me and my family are in such unfamiliar territory right now (literally and figuratively). We are 700 miles away from our family, in a city that we felt You calling us to through a new job opportunity for Dylan. We moved here to Nashville back in February, moved into the home of our dreams in May, and as of a month ago Dylan is without a job.
We have plenty to be confused about, worried about, scared about, anxious about, plenty. But this is not the season of worry or anxiety, at least it shouldn't be. Yet, I let myself CONSTANTLY dwell there. It is not where I want to dwell. Starting today, I am choosing gratefulness.
Inspired by a sweet friend of mine's blog, I am going to write a letter to my God everyday this season to tell Him what I am grateful for. Starting today...
Father,
Thank you for my husband. You brought him into my life and I never thought I would meet a man like him in this world. He is the most kind, most real, most sincere, most loyal, most godly man. I cannot believe we are where we are, here in Nashville, together with our 4 children, it makes me smile just thinking about it. He is such a seeker of You Father, please bless his seeking. Please bring him a job. OK, back to being grateful. I am so thankful to be in a marriage relationship with someone I trust with my whole heart. Thank You Father. Thank You for Dylan.
... Heather
