Dear God

Dear God,
I thought I would write you a letter to say thank you. I want to thank you for showing your presence to me so much this week. I want to thank you for giving me comfort when I felt like all hope was lost, like I have felt the last few weeks. You God, alone, are the only one who truly knows what I have been feeling, and you have taken my pain away, and replaced it with peace. I want to thank you for the man you gave me to be my husband, I thank you for his love and understanding, and I thank you for showing me how to be more gentle hearted towards him. I truly know I am loved by him, and even though things are never always perfect, I know when I am sad, hurt, mad, or just plain crabby, he is the one I can turn to, to give me the tlc I need. My husband is truly my best friend. I want to thank you for showing me that when I feel like I can not catch my breath, because life is way too busy, to slow down and enjoy your creation. I often feel like I am in a whirlwind and I can't stop, so I know I can call out to you, and ask you to show me how to slow down and just say enough. I want to thank you for kicking Satan to the curb this week, when he entered into my home, I want to thank you for showing me that me and my husband are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. I want to thank you for opening my husband's heart to adoption, which is an idea we are exploring, and we know through prayer, and if it is your will, it will be done. We have not given up on you as far as having a child of our own, but we also realize that we might be ignoring something you have been telling us along. We pray for a child for us to have, love, and nuture, so if it is your will for that child to come to us a little different than we expected, then it will be done. Most of all God I want to thank you for loving me, even when I shouldn't have been, thank you for never turning away from me, even when I turned away from you so many times. There is no greater love than what you have for your children, and at times I am overcome with emotion thinking of that. It is almost uncomprehensible. Thank you God for your love, your forgiveness, and for making me who I am, I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
