Thankful Thursday

It's Thankful Thursday. This month Iris at Grace Alone is hosting this meme. I am so thankful for the ladies who host this each month. It gives me a chance in writing to thank the Lord for His blessings!

I am constantly amazed at God's work in my daughter's life. Today, watching her at volleyball practice, I could only praise God! When I reflect back to the dark times of our first summer together and look at where we are now, I stand in awe of a God who is alive and working miracles today!

Four summers ago, we received our five year old daughter into our home. She had been in foster care for two and half years and we were her tenth set of parents. This little girl struggled with respect, attachment, and anger. She fought any kind of authority. I'm not going to go any further into details of that desperate time of our lives.L is a true example of Second Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." It is His work and His alone that has brought such a change in her life! L is a joy and blessing. I love her so much!
