Thankfulness

 Though most of us mainly concentrate on thankfulness each year at Thanksgiving, it's been on my mind today. I realize just how ungrateful I can be, which is shameful when I am so very blessed! God has truly blessed me in so many ways, and I really don't want to take anything for granted. I could not ask for a more wonderful, loving husband than I have in Bryson. He has been such an answer to prayer. I know that God created him just for me because he's everything I prayed for and so much more! I know that very few women ever find what I have in Bryson. Thank you Lord so very much for giving me my Bryson!
 Along with Bryson, one of my most treasured blessings from God is my baby girl Elliana! Wow, what a treasure she really is. I'm just blown away at how fulfilling being a mom has been! The gift of motherhood is such a special thing. I pray that I never take for granted this privilege I have to be called mom. Bryson and I pray for wisdom in bringing up our children. The responsiblity is enormous, and not something either of us take lightly, but the benefits of parenthood are overwhelming .
 I am in such anticipation for the arrival of our precious baby boy! I am so undeserving of these priceless gifts God has decided to entrust me with, yet am so very thankful to Him for these children. I pray that God would be so gracious to once again bless us with a healthy baby. Kade is already so very loved by Bryson and I. Elliana will be very excited to have a brother as well. She loves other babies. In fact we were just out swinging a bit ago and a little 16 month old boy was out blowing bubbles with his mom. Elliana was grunting, and giggling at him with excitement. It was so cute! Thank you God for Elliana and baby Kade!
 Just a few more things I am greatful for (and this list could go on to infinity but I'll just name a few) my salvation through Jesus Christ (without Him I am nothing!), all of my family - parents, grandparents, siblings, in-laws, etc.., my family's and my own health, Bryson's job and his willingness to provide for his family, the sweet opportunity that I have to be a stay-at-home mom (no job could ever compares to this!), and that God daily meets my needs and the needs of my family! God is so good!
 There are lots of upcoming changes for the Rogers family. New job for Bryson, moving, and Kade's arrival in September to name a few! We are very much looking forward to all these things. I just pray that God gives us wisdom in all of the decisions we have coming up...namely where to live. I tend to get anxious over the 'unknown' but know it's all in God's hands and I just need to trust Him even with the smallest details.
