It struck me how different today has been for me than it has been for Sonja. I was able to stay home and take care of Audrey while Sonja went to work. This is quite the role reversal; not because women belong at home with the children but because I want to be working and missing Sonja, Audrey, Tuckett and Louis when I am working full time and providing for my family. I spent time today praying for a job that would allow me to do this all the while combating feeling guilty that I was at home and Sonja was at work...here is where the thankful part comes in...there was a time in the recent past when we would have given anything to have a daughter, to be in the place of having to figure out how to "make things work" with a child. We are thankful to be where we are, we are thankful to have our little girl. This at first glance may seem like double dipping since our first entry was about our little girl. Today, among many different thoughts and emotions is a deeper gratitude to have our little girl. Thank you Lord

how about this - we are BOTH thankful today! :) i just had to say that i am thankful for the prayers offered up for my first day back to work, i'm thankful for family and friends encouragement, i'm thankful for sweet co-workers and clients. all in all the day wasn't as bad as i imagined it would be. surprisingly the world didn't come to an end and my car didn't drive off a cliff. the car went straight to work, like it has for the last 4 years, and the day was just another day. but i felt the prayers and the love and God's presence all day and for that i am thankful.
