Thank You God For Eli Thomas

Thank you God for the continuous blessings you give our family. 

Thank you especially for our wonderful boys.

Today, I thank you especially for our happy sweet Eli!

A year ago yesterday, you blessed us with a sweet baby boy. This boy is our 2nd child you have blessed us with.

Little did we know at the time, how different he would be from the first.

He is so much smaller and so much more delicate than his brother, but you gave us another joyful child.

You gave us a boy that is always smiling, unless there is something truly wrong. 

You gave us a boy that lights up the room.

You gave us a boy that has made our hearts grow. 

We are so grateful.

I don't know why we deserve this love.

I don't know why we deserve this child.

I feel like we don't.

However, thank you for choosing us to be his parents.

Help us to be the best parents we can be.

Help us to be the best parents for these children.

Help us to love him as much as he loves us.

Help our hearts to continue to grow with love.

Help us to guide him as his parents.

Help lead us on this journey of being these awesome kids parents.

Thank you for continuing to watch over him.

Thank you for continuing to keep him safe.

Thank you for being patient with us on the many occasions he has been sick.

Thank you for time and time again answering our prayers that he be okay.

If you could make his pain a little less and make him sick less frequently, we'd appreciate it.

We are thankful though that you continue to lead us through and on the other side.

Help us to always appreciate the blessings and not focus on him being sick.

Help to continue to lead him through.

Thank you for always making him better.

Thank you for always leading us through.

We don't deserve these kids to be so amazing. 

We don't deserve anything.

You have chosen us and blessed us.

We are grateful for these blessings.

We are thankful for Eli.

Thank you God and please continue to bless this family.

Amen
