babbling

My house is quiet right now and I like it.  We are watching a friend’s 3 month old for the evening.  Right now, all three little boys are resting peacefully.  This is a beautiful thing.  I get to wake him soon and feed him a bottle while Ryan and I watch a movie.  That sounds like fun to me.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving.  Brunch in the morning with one set of parents and dinner later in the day with the other set.  A full day, but we have so much to be thankful for.  Family, friends, health, a home.  Yet all these things can be taken, or changed.  I am thankful that the ultimate gift, our salvation can never be taken.  My relationship to God through Christ will never change.  This is where I find true peace and thankfulness.  Here, in this life there is much joy and many wonderful blessings.  But, there is also much pain, change, and hurt.  In the midst of the happiness and sadness I rejoice that we can find comfort, stability, and hope in Him, our Rock.
