Our friends the Mason’s have been going through an ever-delayed adoption process.  Every time they think they’re close the Chinese government appears to delay things.  Louanne had borrowed from her friend the title, “Thankful Thursdays.”  But it got me thinking: this blog needs more thanks.  Much, much more thanks.  So today I’m going to start my own ‘Randy Gets Thankful” post.  If this were a blogging Meme think about how much better Thursdays might be if we had more than Lost-Vivor to look forward to in our scheduled reading time.

This week I’m going to be thankful for my health.  I’m going through some irritating medical issues at present and when it all comes down to it, my problems aren’t fatal and I’m not going through cancer treatments or worse.  My wife is understanding and supportive and my girls are often snuggly.  My extended family is just as supportive and they pray for me and chide me about things periodically keeping things real, but with an eternal perspective.  I’m thankful for my family!
