Gratefulness

Well, it's the end of the semester for my husband in his first year of law school. I've never seen anything so vigorous in my life next to child rearing! But he is an amazingly dedicated worker, and practically flew home in a state of euphoria after just finishing his last final exam for the term. It made me start to think about how God has been so good to us since we've been here. (Well, he has always been good to us, but the last few months are freshest in my mind.)


Here is a list of the things that I'm so thankful to the Lord for:
(and yes, I should have done this at Thanksgiving, but better late than never...)

1. Knowing Him and His truth.
2. The church He has led us to here in Nashville.
3. The wonderful friends he has given us, especially since our move.
4. My husband's scholarship and stipend.
5. My jobs.
6. The Ummels, who graciously and with much faith traded cars with us so that I could actually
HAVE my jobs!
7. Keeping Nick from serious illness during the semester, even though he pushed so hard.
8. Nick's mother's generosity of flying us up to Michigan for Thanksgiving so that we wouldn't have such a long, expensive and exhausting trip.
9. Getting the chance to attend Ben and Kyla's wedding in Bloomington.
10. Getting to meet my brother at Fort Campbell next week, as he flies in for the last time from
Iraq. (and then having him only live about 50 minutes from us for at least the next 10 months!)

Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
