Thanksgiving is so different this year. I consider myself a pretty grateful person but this year I feel like I have so much to be thankful for and in different ways than I have had to be thankful for in the past.
I have become so much more thankful for my husband in the last few months and especially the last week. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and I really think it's true. Steve's been back with me for almost a week now and every time I see him smile I just can't hep but thank God that we are finally together again.
I used to see the glass half empty but I've found in the last year that I've come to see it half full. I was talking with a friend the other day and telling her just how grateful I am to God that He got me a job which allowed my husband to finally join me here and she didn't really understand why I was thankful when it's taken 2 1/2 months to find a job and God could have expedited the process. Well, I've also learned a lot in the process and although the last few months were really hard I really feel that God's timing was in it all. God knew what I could handle and had given me grace for the season and when I finally had gotten to the point where I was at the end of my rope and the grace had run out He got me a job. Now I'm here with my husband and am so thankful that God has given me this wonderful man to share life with and although the last few months were extremely difficult I feel that we've been learning lessons that will come in handy down the road.
This whole season has just made me extremely grateful, we're still in a pretty difficult situation financially until Steve has a job and there's other issues that have come up as well with our house, health and cars, but I am once again reminded that God has never ever in my 29 years of life let either of us down and I know that He will be faithful again - and for that I am grateful.
I'm grateful that we have a lot of lacks in our life. We left our closest friends, family, jobs, security, house and even our dog, but we know that God will fill all of the empty places in our hearts and where we lack, and because of that I can't help but thank Him in advance.
God has been so good to us and I know we have a lot of miracles that need to take place before us, but I can't help but be thankful because I just know that it will all be fine. I'm so thankful for the great future that God has in store for us, we might not see the big picture now, but I don't doubt for a second that our God is working on putting those puzzle pieces together and that makes my heart happy.
