Life

I'm thankful today for all of you...for the love you show our family through your words of support and encouragement. It's a tremendous blessing to have such a family!

We really have quite a lot to be thankful for. I was speaking to a trainer yesterday at the gym about life in Christ...how it's difficult to imagine how people can go through life without Him! In fact, it's not really life at all since true life is only found in Christ. Unfortunately, sometimes it's easy to overlook how I've been raised from the dead by Jesus himself...life has been breathed into me and I now truly live. I wish I could have that perspective all the time. Such a perspective, daily in life, would lead to such an awesome attitude of thankfulness and gratitude, no matter the circumstances.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. And thank you, Father, for giving us life...for those wonderful, intimate moments with you when nothing else seems to matter, as well as for the difficult, tedious times when life just plain hurts because of the growth you are initiating in us.
