Tami’s Meandering Thoughts

After writing that last entry, I asked Tim, “Do you think that is too depressing? Are all my blogs that depressing?” So, to lift the mood a little, I thought I would list some of the things I thank God for. These are just some of the people and events that I can’t believe God has blessed me with:

A partial list of blessings:

1. The most wonderful husband in the world. When talking with women, I always apologize for taking the most awesome guy around. I don’t know why God has given me such a forgiving, loving, humorous, insightful man – probably to balance me out!

2. Three great children. The other day when I again told the kids that I loved them. Ryan said, “Mom, you can stop telling us that”. When I told him that there were some kids who grew up never knowing a parent’s love, and so he better be grateful, he responded, “Well, you tell us all the time. You can stop now!”

3. Two godly extended families. I love the support and encouragement that come from Tim’s parents and siblings (and families) and my parents and siblings (and families). To know that we are all united in a common goal of seeking God’s will is rare in 2 such large families.

4. A caring church family. In the 5 ½ years that we have been here, there have been some “rough” spots. But I can honestly say now that I love to go to church! I see people loving each other, laughing and crying with each other, and most importantly, praying for each other. I wonder how many pastor’s wives are able to say that they have some great friends in their congregation.

5. The true written history of God’s working in a segment of humanity. If you haven’t learned from these blogs – I love reading the Bible. As I study how God has worked, I constantly pray that God would show me more of who he is. I am grateful that God allows us to have something in our hands that helps us understand him.

I could go on and on, but I’ll stop so I can serve my family supper! I do thank God for all of you who he has placed in my life.
