Thanks to the givers out there and Happy Thanksgiving!

We are blown away. Constantly. Blown away by the love of our family and friends, and the way they are supporting us. Tears of joy and gratitude have been coming often these days. It is a true blessing to be a part of God's family! Thank you for loving on us. Thank you for passing on clothes to our kids - incredible that we rarely ever buy clothes for our children because we have amazing people giving us hand-me-downs. Thank you for sewing D's clothes so he can have great things to wear that fit his little body. Thank you for writing grants for us that we don't even know about. Thanks for helping us get to camp. Thank you for gifting us a washer and dryer. Thanks for babysitting so we can have a date night, or for bringing us Starbucks. It's incredible, really, how God's family can come together to help each other. Good friends of ours that needed a car were just gifted a car. A CAR, people. That's awesome! And we have been given so much. A WASHER AND DRYER for goodness sake. Amazing. Friends that let us stay in "their" home while we build our new one. And those lovely people building our home - wow. A church we've never been to that comes alongside us and helps us with the wheelchair arm for our car. It's just incredible. Accepting gifts is a difficult thing - its so amazing to be given things that you do, in fact, need, and then not know how to respond in return or what you can give back, or how you can thank the givers. It's pure joy walking this life together. It's a blessing to have the support of people that want to live life with you. We are so grateful that God has us in His family and pray that we can take care of others and pass along the love you have shown to us. So thank you, givers. You are a blessing.

"Every time I think of you, I thank God for you." Philippians 1:3

Happy Thanksgiving!
