Expectations

As I watched my husband sleep on the sofa and gently nudged David to stick with his homework, I must confess my mind wandered a bit. Where did I expect to be at this point in my life? Exactly where I am! I always wanted to be a wife and a mother, and I am just that. As my life continues to unfold, I am grateful that my childhood dream came true. Satan has tried very hard to snatch that dream away...I am grateful that God is stronger!

As I continue in a mindset of thanksgiving, I continue to count my blessings. I have a husband that loves me. I have been blessed with a wonderful step-son, and three boys of my own. They are healthy and all know the Lord. I have been blessed with a wonderful church family - they are supportive and loving and kind. I have four brothers who have been there for me during difficult times and joyous times. I have precious sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews, and great nieces. I wrote last time about my parents! I have a job that I absolutely love. My boss and co-workers are wonderful! With all of this to be thankful for, the hard times tend to fade into the background. Thanks be to God!
