you’re bags are gorgeous. I am thankful for my children and husband, who loves me unconditionally.
I am thankful for my 3 girls, and that my 3 month old twins are sleeping through the night!
Happy Birthday, Gussy! I’m thankful for so much, it’s hard to pick just one this morning – but I’m gonna have to go with the fact that we serve a creative God. He could’ve just set the world in motion and called it “good,” but He poured His creative heart into His work, into His creation, into us! And now as image-bearers, we get to reflect that creativity back in what we make, what we write, what we do, and even in how we interact with others! How wonderful that we’re not robots – so, yes – I’m thankful for God’s creative heart and mind!
I am so thankful today for my family and for the opportunity to have another day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!
