A Week of Thanksgiving: People in my Children's Lives

Continuing the theme of thankfulness, today's post is focused on the people in my children's lives.

For doctors who really listen and hear what I don't say sometimes,

For Sunday school teachers and children's pastors who really want my children to know Christ,

For neighbors who give them extra special candy during trick-or-treating,

For other parents whose eyes are big enough to watch out for my children,

For other parents whose hearts are big enough to cheer on my children even when their own children might not have done as well that day,

For volunteer coaches who don't have to be there at all, but are,

For cousins, including a busy senior girl, who took time to be a Flat Stanley writing partner,

For teachers who want to make school and life just a little happier,

For teachers who are unwilling to let my children settle for less,

For all the people who pray for my children by name on a regular basis,

For these, just a few of the Lord's gifts to me, I am most thankful .
