giving thanks for all our blessings

II Corinthians 9:14
Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.

Today in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving. We have much to be thankful for: our salvation, our family and friends, our health, our safety, and our daily needs that are continually met. We can't help but reflect on the past 6 months and praise our Heavenly Father for our precious daughter who we hope to see in 6 weeks. Every day we look at her picture and say 'thank you'. It humbles our hearts to know that she was placed into our family, not by chance, but because the Lord meant it to be this way, even before the foundation of the world. The Lord has richly blessed us. Thank you seems such a tiny phrase to say, but in our hearts it means so much more.
