So Thankful!

This year we spent Thanksgiving with my family in Colorado Springs. Both of my brothers came home from college and it was such a wonderful day of being all together as a family. Hard to believe that it was Asher's 1st Thanksgiving as it seems like he has always been a part of our lives! He thoroughly enjoyed all of the delicious food...especially the tastes of pumpkin and cherry pie Grandma Brokke gave him while I wasn't looking!

Enjoying his first Thanksgiving meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and corn - all mashed up of course. Mmmmm...doesn't it look delicious?

My middle brother Derek and me -

I've been reflecting on all the things I'm thankful for this year and there are many:
My amazing husband
My beautiful son
Our families
Incredible friends - both close by and far away
Our home
Health
Mark's job in the midst of an unstable economy & the fact that God provides for our every need!
A great Small Group
Being able to stay home with Asher and see him grow, learn and develop daily

But mostly, I'm so thankful for the Lord in my life. He is so faithful and trustworthy, even in the midst of my own doubt, fears and insecurities. He desires intimacy with me and pursues me. That's incredible! The blessings He has given me are more than I could have ever imagined for my life. I'm SO thankful for His salvation, His presence, and the life He gives to me spiritually, emotionally and physically.
