Thanks to the Lord for unexpected gifts, blessings unasked for, things we didn't know we needed but couldn't live without. At this time last year we had no idea what was in store for us, and today I wonder what's in store in the days to come. As Archer and Shelly bring home projects from school and church that list the things they're thankful for I'm proud that they list each other, "I'm thankful for my brother/sister." Today was a rough day, I think both kids got hurt at least five times as a direct result of rowdy play. But I'm thankful that none of their injuries were major. And that they love playing together. And that they're healthy enough to be running around. And that I get to be part of it too. And that I didn't cause many of the rough-housing injuries... only one, I think.
The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
~ Acts 17:25
