In the midst of court dates and doctor's appointments, it was such a good reminder that God is Sovereign, mighty, heals, provides, and brings peace. We are still waiting on decisions regarding the future of the girls as well as lab work and treatment options for the boys and Jeff. It is hard to wait but we can rest in God knowing he holds the future in His strong hands. He sees us in our distress and answers us when we pray.
Among the hard things this month were some fun things as well. Eli chose to use most of his birthday money to give to a missions organization that is building wells in Asia. He also filled 4 shoe-boxes for children around the world. Along with the toys inside, the kids will be given the Gospel... the wonderful news of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Eli also lost another tooth this month, celebrated his seventh birthday (again), and continued with his schooling.
Thad made a decision to follow the Lord with his life and prayed for salvation. We are so EXCITED at this next step in his spiritual journey. He also has been a big helper to Mommy.
We celebrated Thanksgiving with the boys "surrogate Grandparents" from our church and one of their daughters. We made hands and wrote what we were thankful for on each of the fingers. In the middle we wrote our name as a remembrance that God has engraved our names on the palms of his hands.
We hope that as you celebrated Thanksgiving you too were able to thank God for his many blessings. As we head into the Christmas season, we set out minds on the birth of a tiny baby who would become the Savior. Yes, we have much to be thankful for!
