Thankful

Today I am thankful.

Thankful that sometimes God says no.
Thankful for a husband who's faith outlasts my own.
Thankful that that same husband buys me a pumpkin latte not because it solves anything but because it makes me smile.
Thankful for a home where we can entertain and see God work.
Thankful for struggles that lead us to truth.
Thankful that home is simply where we are as long as God is there.
Thankful that one day home will be permanent.
Thankful for a dad who prays and a mom who encourages me.
Thankful that God speaks through others.
Thankful for a random note of encouragement from my uncle.

Today I know that prayers aren't always answered in the way I imagined but I also know that we are not abandoned and that because the Son of God died there is a future and a hope. Today I'm finding thankfulness behind closed doors.

A thankful heart is a free heart. May you be thankful today!
