Thanksgiving

Most people that know me well know that I would not normally EVER post a blog entitled Thanksgiving….after the big Turkey Day is over— however…

So why is this blog a day late and titled Thanksgiving?— well- it is simply because I have had such an incredible week- -my oldest son-his name is Ren- for those of you who do not know him.  Well, each day in this week we have spent literally hours talking….about spiritual things- about things about his future, his decisions, we have talked about his past and his present…and not only have we talked about these things- but he has talked with his brothers about these things- what an incredible thing.  Ren is pretty awesome- he has a mind like no one I know- and he cares so much- it has been awhile since Ren has cared and has wanted to care..but now -  well, now I am sure that he is changed….he has a fire inside that is burning so brightly right now.  There were so many prayers uttered- so many sleepless nights and fearful nights…the events that led him to this place- are inspiring and undeniably had the hand of God in it.  This is not a thanksgiving day blessing— it is, I fully believe a change of heart- that changes a life- repentance. I could not ask for more than this blessing and I am still saying prayers of thanksgiving.   So while the official Turkey Day is over— the Thanksgiving I am feeling in my heart is overwhelming and humbling all at the same time.  The blessing of having a child realize he needs God in his life- that there is no better way of life.  To have that child verbalize his thoughts and love for The Father.  No greater blessing could I long for….so it may be a bit after the ‘holiday’ but…. I am Thankful.
