In our current financial situation it's truly a miracle we've been able to make our house payments and remain in our home. I don't think I've shared this before so now is as good a time as any. You may remember that I've talked about the fact that our wait for Kenan kept getting pushed back for months. We were originally told that we would be traveling to get him in Aug./Sept. 2007. Then it was Nov./Dec. 2007. We were praying for no later than December so that we could claim him on that year's taxes. Next came Jan./Feb. 2008. We did end up going late February which meant having to wait another year for the tax benefit. Our return wouldn't get to us until this year, 2009. What we didn't know at the time was that a year after getting our precious Guatemalan boy, Rex would be laid off from his job. The refund we had wanted a year ago came at just the right time and it's what has kept us in our home these last ten months.
We don't always get to see reasons why things happen the way they do. We still don't know why God chose to wait three years to give us our first pregnancy, or why He chose to take that baby away. We trust that His ways are higher than our ways and that His timing is perfect. But sometimes He lets us know exactly why He does what He does and the timing in which it happens. So, today I'm thankful for the tornado aftermath environment I live in most of the time, my home. It's a four walls and a roof miracle. What are you thankful for today?
While the boys were away at a football game today, Madeline and I spent the day doing what she wanted to do. We went to the bassproshop's santa wonderland were she played the free games, we went to chucke.cheese for lunch and tonight we went to toysRus to make a wish list. She loves going to these places and today was all about her. So, today I gave my day to my daughter to do the things that make her happy. What have you done to give today?
