Today is Thanksgiving Day. A day to reflect on all the blessings we have in our lives.

I praise God every day for this precious family, they are all that I am most thankful for plus the addition of Mikah Ada Spoelhof, born just 7 weeks ago.

Rachel is thankful for

1. A Healthy Baby girl #3

2. A husband who comes home every day full of energy and love for our girls.

3. Awesome in-laws who have been so helpful with Ellie and Hanna so that I can rest and take care of Mikah.

4. 3 Adorable and happy girls. I love how much they all love each other.

5. I get to stay at home and spend every day with my girls.

Jess is thankful for:
1. Wonderful family that we get to spend time with over the holidays, some on thanksgiving, others at Christmas.
2. How much Jesus loves me
3. Husband who loves me and pursues me.
4. 4 children who are silly, fun, and always challenging me to rely more on Jesus
5. Community group of people who want to do life together in Jesus

Bethany is thankful for
1. I am thankful for my husband who loves me for me, is willing to learn with me, adventures with me, and loves to make me laugh.
2. I am thankful for family who if I could have a choice, I would pick to be my friends and close people in my life. Including parents, sisters, brother in laws, and sister in laws.
3. I am thankful for our church, where I am being challenged to get more into the word of God, go deeper in community, and fall more in love with Jesus.
4. I am thankful for the ministry of Young Life. I am blessed that I get to work for them. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my mom becoming a Christian at Woodleaf and my husband becoming a Christian at Oakbridge. What a gift!
5. I am thankful for the peace of the Lord which transcends all understanding. I am thankful for a full life in Christ when I don’t deserve anything. I am thankful for being chosen so I am his child. I am thankful I have purpose and hope in the Lord.
