During the month of November everyone on facebook writes their "thankful posts" each day. I have participated in this the past few years but this year I have decided to blog what we are thankful for. I know I am a few days behind in starting but that is what happens with a toddler running around. :)
Over the past 2 years we have been shown what really matters in life, what we are really thankful for, and how blessed we are. The number one thing I am thankful for is God. His healing power and ability to take away all the darkness during those first 39 days of Maelee's life in the NICU is something we are truly blessed to have experienced. He can perform miracles and Maelee is our miracle.
I am thankful for our friends and true family, not just the people who are blood related (because we all know blood doesn't mean everything) but the people who truly love and stand by us throughout everything. We have been shown over the past year how selfish and hateful people can be but in the midst of all the heartache God has shown us what real love and compassion is about. We have been shown our true family and for that we are so blessed. I am thankful Maelee has one aunt she is able to see often and who truly loves everything about her, her Aunt Megan was not sent to us by blood but by love. She is a wonderful person and has so much love to give. We are thankful for her and blessed to have her in our lives as well as Maelee's! :) This friendship happened by accident but I am grateful because not only did I gain a sister by it, I also was blessed with the most handsome nephew!
I am thankful for my husband, Lee. He has stood beside me and is my best friend. I can't imagine anyone else to enjoy life with or to experience the heartache with. Life has so many ups and downs and I am glad we get to ride this roller-coaster together. I am blessed to have him in my life!
Well that was a quick catch up....Now to try and stay on top of my thankful blogs this month. I can't promise a post everyday but I will give at least one thankful item for each day in November......I may have to list more since we have truly been blessed! We have a living breathing miracle in our home and that comes with tons of thankfulness!!!
