The Christmas season is in full swing, but this year my wish list is short and my gratitude list is long. Topping my list of things to be thankful for is a group of women who make me feel like I'm right where I belong.
As I celebrated my first Thanksgiving with my new extended family, my new sisters-in-law made me feel like I was right at home. We bonded over early bird specials after Turkey Day...and celebrated shopping deals and the steals we got in our husbands. It was the standout of the weekend for me...along with my gorgeous baby niece! I can't wait to take her shopping!
I would not be able to stay afloat without the love and support of the women in my small group at church...who've seen me through the lowest point of my life and celebrated the highs...And I've only known my new group of female church friends for a few months but they're like sisters to me and I've bared my soul with them and listened to their hearts...They're on my prayer list every night.
I miss my mother terribly...She's my greatest human source of encouragement and the distance between us makes me heartsick...But having such a fabulous mother-in-law nearby is unbelievably comforting...
My husband may be my top priority in the way I live out my daily life, but without the love and support of so many women, I wouldn't be much good to him or myself for that matter.
