Happy Thanksgiving!
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." ~Phillippians 4:6"Give thanks in all circumstances...." ~1 Thessalonians 5:18

So much to be thankful for as we celebrate our first Thanksgiving Holiday with both of our daughters!!!! If I have learned anything in my 43 years it is that God's timing is always perfect! I remember last year at this time praying that we would have our referral from China by Christmas. Of course if that had happened, Ruby never would have been ours. She would have been too young to be referred. Again, I am reminded by this not to question why or when. As hard as it is to grasp sometimes, God does have a plan for each one of us. I am so thankful that He is in control!! So, for my friends that are waiting for news from afar I hope you find peace in that today!
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

God's timing is alway perfect, isn't it! I was just with a friend today who came home from China two weeks ago, and we were talking about this. God chose each one of our precious little girls, even though we at times were anxious about His perfect timing. Thanks for sharing the Phillippians verse -- always a good reminder of what God wants us to do. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your sweet family.
Just beautiful!

Love reading about the reminders of God's perfect timing. This is what I'm totally standing on. Gets me through everything.
I got the comment about the dress. Thank you! I am for sure going to be looking for a dress like this when we go to China (in God's perfect timing of course!). :o)
