Thanksgiving eve....

There are many ways to look at tomorrow.  A person could be upset that we are in a hospital and not home yet.  We could be pouting about God not answering our prayers the way we would like.  OR we can be up here, share the Joy in the fact that Kasi is alive, well, and feeling okay.  We can be on purpose in our walks tomorrow sharing the joy that we have with those who are feeling a little down for being here on Thanksgiving.  We can love on our whole family, together, even if it is up here in the hospital.  We still have our whole family together.  We can simply celebrate life!!  The fact that the boys birth mom blessed us by choosing life for Ben and Nathan, for a life like Aubree's who blesses us with her humor and amazing heart, and for the continued life of Kasi, who just survived a huge surgery in which she had to fight to live, breathe, and well still fighting to eat.  We know that Thanksgiving is more than the food on the table, it is about being together.  And home, well, my home it is coming to me tomorrow and everyone will be together.  Once again I say to all of you, hug and kiss all of your kids.  Show them all the love the Father has blessed us with to GIVE!  Yes, to give.  Part of His free gift to us and the most important part of life.  God's Love.
Be blessed on this Thanksgiving!
