I’m really thankful for my family. Will and I had so much fun when my parents visited us last month. It was wonderful being able to explore more of Michigan together, to share our home with them, and even to spend a day butchering chickens together. However most of the time we’re separated by 951 miles of road, and I often miss morning coffee with Mom or seeing my Dad when he gets home from work.
I’m truly grateful for Will’s family and how welcoming, warm, and encouraging they have been. Sunday, after church, they invited us over for lunch, and we had so much fun sitting at the long kitchen table, eating lunch and talking and laughing. It’s been so nice to know we have Will’s parents nearby, and although sometimes I still forget to call them mom and dad, they treat me like one of their own daughters and I feel so blessed and overwhelmed to have two pairs of such loving, Godly parents in our lives.
I’m so grateful for both of our parents, and how they call to check on us and love and support us throughout each and every week. I’m thankful for our brothers and sisters – Sean and I were co-conspirators and best buddies growing up, and I never dreamed the joy of having eleven more siblings one day. I am thankful that God places the lonely into families, and how our family in Christ is always growing.
