Happy Turkey Day!

God has been amazing and generous with our family this year. We have so many reasons to be thankful, beginning with the remarkable progress we're seeing daily in Amy's wound healing. It's been a long, long haul for Amy, but when we stop to consider the trials others are facing, we know things could be so much worse. From the beginning Amy has kept things in the proper perspective as she reminds me that Christ suffered with wounds so much more horrible--just so He could save us from our sins and cleanse us white as snow. We can never fully comprehend what He went thru for us, and the amazing part is that not only did we not deserve it, but He would have done it if we'd been the only one on earth. So very humbling. So yes, Amy has had to deal with a lot but in comparison, it's just a "mere flesh wound!"
We're thankful for Dr's and nurses and other medical personnel who have been so tender-hearted and loving. We're thankful to have food on the table and a warm home where we can gather this holiday. We're thankful for the many, many prayer warriors who have kept us close in heart--many whom we don't even know! And we're thankful for friends and family, both near and far, who make our lives complete. May God richly bless you this day.
