I am thankful for our move to Florida and even though I struggle to understand how we’re going to make a life here, I am thankful that I never ask why we are going to make a life here.

But today I am the most thankful that I serve a loving, gracious, unconditional Lord who has blessed me with trials and triumphs, with good, strong people in my life, and with my own little family who brings me so much joy and peace.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Brown Family!
