Good grief!  Its been a long time since I was thankful on a Thursday.  So I’m going to be thankful today for three Nadias.  In alphabetical order :)

Our WorldVision child is named Nadia.  We get periodic stuff about her well being, but after hurricane Ike caused a lot of trauma, I’m glad to hear that she is well.  I’m thankful for the opportunity to sponsor a child and and that she’s growing up and maturing with health and food and a family.  We need to send her a letter to tell her that.  I’m a bad sponsor in that department, but I’m thankful for the opportunity nonetheless.

My second Nadia to be thankful for is my niece.  When I look at these pictures I just smile.  She’s getting bigger and bigger and soon she’ll be getting married talking to me instead of just smiling at me.  I’m thankful she’s growing and is generally a healthy well taken care of baby girl.

Lastly, but not leastly: our friends daughter Nadia just makes us smile (and sometimes cry – in a good way) when we get to see her in person and online at the YouTube.  I’m thankful for our friends and their amazing care for not only their daughter, but so many others directly and indirectly.

Thank you to all three Nadias.  You bless us.
