Give Thanks

"Oh Lord, who has given us so much, mercifully grant us one more thing - a grateful heart."
George Herbert

This year has been filled with more ups and downs than any other. But regardless of our triumphs and trials in 2008, there are so many things for which the Blums are thankful:

1. God's unwavering mercy, grace and love.
2. Our health.
3. Each other.
4. A still-pregnant Jackie.
5. Stefan's job.
6. The family and friends who surround us with love and compassion.
7. Our troops, who are giving their lives so that we can enjoy the freedom in ours.
8. The food in our pantry, the pillows under our heads, the heat in our home and the clothes on our backs.
9. Ava's laugh.

Happy Thanksgiving!
