Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1
Audrey's First Thanksgiving
Today was our first Thanksgiving with Audrey, and we enjoyed celebrating the day with my (Julie's) family. We celebrated with Aaron's family this past Sunday. I think it very appropriate that Thanksgiving is the first holiday we are celebrating as a family with Audrey because our hearts are so full of thanks to the Lord for blessing us with her. We waited so long for her and can't imagine a day without her now.
Today I am mindful of the many things I have to be thankful for. I am blessed in more ways than I can even count. I have an amazing husband, 2 awesome kids, wonderful family and friends, and a job working in a ministry I love. I am thankful for freedom, good health, and life's many simple pleasures. Most of all I am thankful for Jesus who died for us and gives us eternal life and a relationship with Him even though we don't deserve it. I praise Him for the work He has done and continues to do in our lives. I am thankful for His body, the church, that I am forever a part of.
I hope your Thanksgiving Day was as Happy as ours!

I've really enjoyed following your blog, and I'm so happy that you now have your little girl home and in your arms. I will continue to pray for her health and adjustment.
