Thanksgiving is tomorrow and it is at this time of the year that we take time to remember all the many things we have to be thankful for. I am thankful for family, friends, health, love, joy, laughter... and most especially, Jesus. Today, Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 - the day before Thanksgiving - Cecily committed her life to Christ and was baptized by Cayce. Colton and Reece each prayed over her, as did Cayce, while I read the scripture, Galatians 5:22, which so perfectly describes our beautiful daughter...
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
We were surrounded by a host of witnesses - loving family and friends who have each impacted Cecily's walk with Jesus. It is because of these loved ones (and even more who couldn't be with us tonight) that we are here, at this point with our daughter and family. And so, as we prepare to usher in another Thanksgiving Day, I am reminded how very thankful I am for family and friends - that God so purposely placed in our lives. Thank you.
