Here it is that time of year again. The weather gets cool, the sweaters come out of the closet and the children love playing in the leaves. This is also a time of true reflection for me. Since my birthday is in the fall and Thanksgiving is just around the corner this is a time for major pondering and reflection. Sometimes it's just to see what my goals are or what I have achieved and see where I need to go next.. This year it's all about the blessings. The beginning of 2008 was bleak to say the least I was about to have surgery on my thyroid. I had recently learned of some horrific issues within my family and Ted was without work.
GOD had it ALL under control.
Thanks to Ted being laid off we didn't need to find somebody to take the children during my surgery.
Thanks to another lay off a couple of months later we were able to go to a cousin's wedding and still have income (unemployment).
Thanks to us being completely broke we've learned that credit stinks and we won't be utilizing it for more than home purchases (and even then would love to be without a mortgage).
Now we have a good income, Ted has finished his required hours to complete his apprenticeship term and we're eating well. This fall I have so much to be thankful for. Even in the tough times God's grace and mercy have been apparent and his love has been abundant.
