If you haven’t caught the drift of what it is I’m thankful for this year, then you’ve been doing too much laundry and not enough reading of The Spiff!

So guess what? I’m thankful for little cool cat Jackson.

The process of watching him grow and change is so fascinating, exciting and so wild…and my goodness he’s only 3 months old! What will I do when he starts walking/talking/DRIVING?! *Smacks forehead.

What he’s reminded me of, though, is how much God loves us.

I think I love this baby a lot, but God loves us even more. I think I went through a list of trials and heartaches to get him into this world, but that’s nothing compared to what God did to save us.

The other thing Jackson reminds me of is how, on occasion, we’ll think our needs aren’t being met. It will be about our feeding time and we’ll cry and cry thinking God has forgotten us and why doesn’t He feed us anymore and oh my goodness things just look so bleak…never mind, there’s the bottle. We just had to wait a minute while He prepared it.

I’m thankful for this little boy in so many ways, but the biggest appreciation I have is for how he’s shed new light on my relationship with God.

Hey, go and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, friends. And know that I’m thankful for you too!! :)
