Thankfulness

As we are approaching the Thanksgiving Holiday I sat back and reflected about all that has gone on in the past year. I have a fantastic husband, wonderful children, and a great home. God has been good to us. 2 years ago I was at an all time low with the miscarriage of my second child. I never thought I would get through that time. It was by far the most difficult thing I have dealt with in my whole entire life. There were many times I didn't know if I could go through one more day. But God is good. He was with me, and comforted me and gave me a promise of a son. I looked back on my journal and I had written about a dream I had about my son (before I was even pregnant). I wrote that this little blonde haired blue eyed little boy, who looked different from Emma was in a jumperoo jumping away in the living room. A very cute, sweet, little boy. I forgot about this until recently when someone very close to me had a tragedy in their lives. It tends to make you reflective of where you were. I read this and I couldn't believe that I had that dream. Here I am 2 years later, and I have my son, and we just happen to have a jumperoo that he loves that was purchased just a few months ago. God fulfilled his promise to me. I am not saying I am psychic or anything, but it seems that God tends to speak to me in my dreams. There have been many times when I have dreamt something and months or years later it comes true. It just amazes me how good God is. How he provides for us, and heals the deepest hurts. I am so thankful for all of my children and glad that I have received healing for my baby in heaven. I am just so happy with life and grateful for every single moment I have. I am glad that bad circumstances can always be turned to good, for God's glory. Though at the time it's hard to see how any good can come from things, but in my life I have seen the worst things come around full circle. We weren't promised a life without pain or hurt, but we were promised that God is with us and in control. He knows what is best for us. He loves us unconditionally and knows what he is doing. And now that I can see the full picture I know all my pain was worth it, and I wouldn't trade any of that because it's made me who I am. And I hope through all of it that God be glorified, because I truly am nothing without Him. I look forward to all the other surprises he has in store for us. And I trust that He knows best and is faithful every time.
