We were sick again this Thanksgiving. That makes three Thanksgivings in a row for us. No joke.
Last year, the stomach flu ripped through our entire family in a matter of mere hours. This year, the illness was milder. But lengthier. Seven days I was pretty much out for the count. Hib didn't work all week. He got it, too.
And although we couldn't deny the reality of our less than ideal situation. We found ourselves so readily thanking Him.
For Hib's job that allows him to be home. For a home. A beautiful home. For sweet daughters who miraculously managed to stay well. And not kill each other. For precious time together, really.
For family we missed so dearly. Who checked in on us constantly. Brought us food. And medicine. Who care for us.
We are so incredibly thankful.
For a Father who, if we're just willing to lean in, opens our hearts to His Presence. And our minds to His thoughts.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
