Character Confession: You Betcha!
How can you NOT be thankful the Saturday after Thanksgiving? I mean by now you’re feasting on turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, turkey gravy, chef salad with turkey…
I’m extra thankful this year. We are healthy. Earlier this year we traveled to Thanksgiving to participate in my husband’s oldest daughter’s wedding to a great man. The trip was full of favor, provision and peace that passed all understanding.
Our son turned into an official teenager. Guess what? He’s as outstanding now as always, maybe more so. His voice deeper, a little mustache in tow, he remains solid in Christ and in all honors classes. He has great friends and is trying new things outside his comfort zone.
Our daughter is blossoming into a crafty second-grader with a writing imagination that surprises all of us. Her health continues to be well and she’s even lost 8lbs this year.
I joined ACFW and have instant resources at my tips. I’m in two critique groups that challenge and grow me in ways that I didn’t think were possible for this 41 year old. I watched many friends find agents, publishers, launch books, and win contests.
My husband and I celebrated 15 years together. Not too long from now we’re going on a cruise, a dream we’ve shared since our engagement.
On November 23, this little guy entered my sister’s world. He’s got my heart, even 300 miles away.
Thankful? In my best Sarah Palin voice I say, “You betcha!”
