Finding Thanksgiving


A few weeks ago, I planned a pretty typical Thanksgiving post.

I was going to share pictures of our first homemade Thanksgiving at the new house, list out all the blessing this year has brought me. Type words that flew from a thankful heart.

But I can't write that post.

My entire world has shifted in the past few weeks.

Some of my blessings weren't what I thought they were. Our little family, that's had such a great year to those outside looking in, is facing some hurdles I didn't see coming. People I thought of as friends, were anything but. My brother died and I'm struggling with trying to find my feet in a world where there's a God that takes people like him.

And I know all the catchphrases that follow someone saying that. Really, I do. But it turns out when it's your heart that's broken, that all sounds like a whole lot of made up junk.

This year has been hard.

Gabe's surgery, our cross country move, my brother dying. It's a lot to fit into 10 months and I'm reeling from the resounding vibrations of it all.

What I'm thankful for today isn't the same list that I thought I'd be thankful for.

1) Family
2) Each tomorrow being a new day

It's short and sweet and covers it all.
