thankfulness

As today turns into tomorrow, as we gather around tables to eat and laugh and share and remember, Kim and I want to express our deepest gratitude.  We have a houseful of blessings, and words seem somewhat insufficient to cover the whole.  But I’ll give it a shot…

We are thankful for our Redeemer, our Rock–Jesus Christ.  God’s hand has been so obvious, his provision has been so great.  From little things to big things we have seen God move in some incredible and humbling ways this year.  We are grateful for his Presence.

We are grateful for our family, this wonderfully complex and beautiful Team that he has pulled together through some unconventional means to be a unit.  It’s been both wonderfully simple and extraordinarily complicated.  There are days that drive us to the ends of ourselves (that’s a good thing!) and days that seem like everything is clicking.  We are grateful.

Thank you, friends and family, honorary members of Team Sublett.  You have prayed for us, pulled for us, cheered us on and blessed us in so many ways.  Some of you are intimately woven into our daily lives, and others of you prefer to remain nameless and faceless, yet you bless us.  Thank you for believing in us, and for believing with us.

We’re grateful for our church family and the leadership that God has seen fit to place us under.  As a community, we are walking through some dark days.  But we know that God is the Redeemer, and we believe that his plan is right, best, good, and coming.

And for those of you who stop by the blog, reading our story, offering words of wisdom, hope, and encouragement, thank you.  Thanks for sharing in our journey.  We hope that God will bless and encourage you through the sharing of our story.

And thanks to Joel and Andrea of J&A Photography for the wonderful family photos.  You guys are truly creatively inspired!
