So much to be thankful for!
Luke as a pilgrim...Thanksgiving 2006."Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34
I think when you have been thru what we have been thru over the last year and half, giving thanks takes on a whole new meaning. We certainly have SO much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! First and foremost, I am thankful to God, who has never left our side this entire journey and we know He never will. He has used an eight year old boy named Luke, who we are proud to call our son, to show us and countless others that miracles still exist today if only you believe. I am also thankful for Luke, who is our hero in every sense of the word. He has survived being given a less than 5% chance, progressed way more than many doctors thought he ever would, taught us about courage, perseverance, and hard work. We are so thankful for the fighting spirit he has been blessed with, and we know God has great plans for him! I am thankful for Lynsey, who has never missed a beat when it comes to her brother. It warms my heart each night when she crawls into bed to lay by him or grabs his arm to arm wrestle. I am thankful for Mike, who loves his Wing man so much, and who does SO much for Luke. I can not wait until the day they can go hunting and fishing again. I am so thankful for all of our family and friends who help us out so much! Without all of you, this journey would be so much harder and so much lonelier...thanks for being with us for the long haul. I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving day. I hope that you, too, will look around and see that no matter how big of a financial crisis America may be in now, or how bad life seems to be, there is ALWAYS, ALWAYS something to be thankful for. May God Bless you all this holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving! Believe!

Sometimes it is the little things that give us so much to be grateful for, every little step Luke makes in his journey. And I'm sure he is thankful for his loving family and shows it in his own way. Hugs from Ohio, Sally
Stacey,

To have gotten to know you and your family, and to be blessed to live in a country where we can have options and choices. Thank you for your posts... and for your precious Luke!
