Tonight I dug some hot dogs out of the freezer for the kids, because I knew they didn't like what I had planned for dinner (and I already made them eat it the first time we had it this week).
Not unusual, right?
Except that the freezer wasn't mine--it's my friend Jen's. She's letting us use a shelf in her freezer
Generous doesn't begin to describe Jen and her family. When we were all sick with the flu, she brought us food (mmm, homemade applesauce!) and prayed for us. They've housesat, traded meals, had cookie and meal exchanges, hosted playdates, gone out on girl nights/guy nights...they're our "family" here in town.
I'm very thankful Jen prays with and for us. We have lots of Christian friends, but few that we pray with, beyond saying grace (and since the kids picked up on my parent's memorized grace, it's often not much of a prayer). Especially without a small group, I need that.
So today I'm thankful for friendship. Specifically Christian friendship...and my friend Jen.

And I just jotted an entry in our Thanksgiving journal for you as well! I am so thankful the Lord provided "town" family for both of us and continues to knit us together in Him. May the Lord bless you fully today and every day!
