Thanksgiving 4

I’m thankful for my sister. Have I told you that she is adopting three lovely children?

I’m thankful for her willingness to raise three more when her others are grown or almost grown. I’m thankful that God has given her stamina and energy and patience.

I’m thankful for the those three little stinkers, too.

Here are three ways you can join in the thanksgiving. 

• Mention something you’re thankful for in the comments here and I’ll included it in one of my thanksgiving posts, or
• Email me to tell me what you’re thankful for and I’ll include it in a post, or
• Post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog, send me the link(s), and I’ll link to your post(s). If you plan to make your thanksgiving posts daily during the month, let me know that and you won’t need to send me daily links.

More details here.

Well, Rebecca, I'm thankful for you, too! Adding all of those links takes a lot of work!

I'm thankful for your sister and those like her who are willing and even delighted to open their homes to children!

Ditto to what Kim said! Thanks, Rebecca, for all the work you put into making this month of thanksgiving so special! I really look forward to it!

I don't remember your posting about your sister adopting the three children. What a selfless and wonderful thing to do!

Again, thank you for hosting and doing all the linking. Is there something we could do to make it easier for you?

[Leslie]

I'm posting a little thankful something and linking back to you every day this month.

Hi Leslie,

I think I've linked to all of yours so far, but sometimes not until the next morning. You must be a night owl. :)

I am thankful to no longer be under the heavy burden of sin's dread sway. Marvelous, marvelous Light!
