If you had asked me in January if I thought 2014 was going to be a good year. My answer would have be a solid no.
After all, who wants to say goodbye to their mother? Watch so many in the family weep? Wake up in tears for weeks on end (if able to sleep at all)?
But God is faithful. He felt my wounds and wanted to comfort me.
This year, I have surged forward in my writing career. Am I published? Not yet. But I do have a publishing contract (more on that later).
I am also in the process of gaining a daughter (maybe two if my other son can figure out what he wants to do). I love my sons. I’m especially grateful not to have shared my home with hormonal teenage girls. I’m excited about getting a fully grown daughter!
There is so much to be thankful for – aside from the rudimentary things: life, air to breath, roof over my head, car to drive.
I know a few of my regular readers have had some struggles this year, too. I hope they’ll chime in and share a blessing or two in the comments.
What are you thankful for this year?
