Happy Thanksgiving!! What a great day to rejoice in all the many blessings God has given us! Its a beautiful and unusually warm day here in Va and so we started our day off eating breakfast on the porch. I think breakfast on the porch in November was definitely a first for me! Jared is enjoying sitting in the tree stand most of the day and later I am headed to work to delivery any little Thanksgiving blessings! Then tomorrow we will enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving with our family and eating tons of good food! :)
The waiting list hasn't moved at all this month and this season of waiting is really getting long.......... This coming Monday marks 10 months of waiting to be matched with our little one. However this month marks two years since God laid adoption on our hearts and when I think of how far we have come in this process and how time seems to have flown, it gets my heart and mind back into perspective. This Thanksgiving we are first and foremost thankful for our salvation in Christ and then so humbled by God calling us to parent one of his precious orphans. What an honor and a privledge to get to be a childs mom and dad that has no one else to love them. We just really want to meet our little one!! We continue to trust in Gods perfect timing and pray that this time next year we will have a sweet little one joining us at Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks again to everyone that is praying for us and our child. It means so much to us!
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus 1 Thess 5:18
