Tearless Tuesdays

For those of you just joining or visiting my blog, Tearless Tuesdays is a day to reflect on things you are thankful for from the week before. This weekly meme is dedicated to and in honor of Tuesday Whitt, whose spirit lives on. For those of us profoundly touched by her story, Tuesday can never be just another day of the week, instead we embrace it as an opportunity to bring honor to sweet Tuesday's memory by speaking out that which we are thankful for and giving praise to our Maker who loves us with a never ceasing always and forever love. Even on our worst days.

These past few weeks have been stressful to say the least. With Liam having to study for this new Corrections job nightly, trying to finnish the house to put it up for sale, struggling daily to figure out just how we are going to make it through on my maternity leave income while Liam attends the next part of class and cannot work, the van causing us trouble time and time again when there is no way of possibly affording to take it in after just spending all we had saved for when Liam was off work to put into the stupid thing! This is life indeed and it is often hard not to question our faith these weeks. But, none the less -- we ARE still thankful. So here is what I am thankful for this week...

This week I am thankful for :

celebrating birthdays

little girls giggles

belly laughs that make you cry

forgiveness

healthy children

faith

unconditional love

a home

a van that is still working besides the fact that it troubles us daily

family

Feel free to join in this weekly meme brought to you by blogbaby. You can head over to her blog if you like to see what she and anyone else are thankful for this week. Stay strong, be true. Trust in Him. Life goes on and we have so much love surrounding us everyday in every moment of every day. If you cannot be thankful -- at least be thankful for that.

Hope everyone has a great week. The for sale sign went up on the house yesterday and we had our first viewing this morning. We also had an agent viewing this morning and I heard there was positive feedback. This is good.
