Thankful Thursday

Yep  - be impressed! Two thankful Thursdays in a row. God has blessed us with so much and I really want to more thoughtful about maintaining an attitude of gratitide.

• "Date" night - last night, Mark and I were able to attend a dinner/presentation sponsored by one of the local churches. The topic was how men and women communicate differently and gave some tips for how we can improve our relationships by honoring those differences. Mark says it wasn't really a date, but since we were out of the house without the kids - I think it counts!
• My friend Del - she was kind enough to watch the kids for us last night. They were excited to see her and loved spending time together.
• Meeting new friends - a couple came up to us after dinner last night and introduced themselves. The Foleys had seen our blog and recognized us. They are just beginning the process to bring home a sweetie from Ethiopia. Although we didn't get to visit as long as I would have liked, it was fun to meet them. I love how God is connecting us with other adoptive families.
• Provision - God is slowly changing my attitude. I am seeing that provision doesn't necessarily mean I will get everything I want. But, God definitely provides me with everything I need. His provision is more than enough!!
