Thankful Thursday Friday, Take 46

A day late...but I have much to be grateful for and need to get back into the habit. These last few weeks, I'm thanking God for...

• Elijah's safe arrival
• his health and excellent weight gain since birth
• the most amazing husband in the world, who has taken incredible care of me and is a joy to watch with his son
• my parents and their wonderful support
• my mom's staying for a week to help us
• my in-laws and their wonderful support
• my mother-in-law's staying for a week to help us
• the church women who are bringing us meals
• the midwives and nurses who provided fantastic care when we were in the hospital
• the fabulous lactation consultants at the hospital in town
• an abundant milk supply
• good health insurance
• Steve getting more time off than we anticipated
• cooler temperatures
• my new diaper bag, ordered from this seller (highly recommended!)
• cards and packages in the mail from friends and family
• encouragement from friends and from strangers
• His grace in revealing my sin
• His mercy and patience with me
• the Psalms
• His promise to "gently lead those that have young" (Isaiah 40:11)
• sustaining me through the hardest three weeks of my life
