Did Our Prayers Get Lost?

I am wondering if God lost our list of prayers for the past five to ten years, found it under a stack of indulgences, and realized, "Oh no, I have totally forgotten about Mr. & Mrs. Thankful". He has then proceeded to pour on the blessings as if they are coming out of a firehose. Needless to say, we are feeling that there is plenty to be thankful for these days. Thanks, again, Prayer Buddy!

It really all started the day that Snicks prayed to Mary with me outside of the fertility clinic; that was last April (Addie was conceived that cycle). Then he went to Mass with me on Christmas (I went into labor that night). And then he went to Mass with me on Mother's Day (he subsequently found our first home that week). Does anyone else see the trend here? I am just sayin'...

I really am bursting with gratitude and thanksgiving right now! I have an amazing husband, we have our beautiful daughter, Snicks got into his first choice PhD program with full funding, I found a job at the same school, we are buying our first home in the neighborhood we want to live in, the sellers are letting us rent for the first month, we found a childcare provider who is on our way to work (which is only 12 blocks from our home), my dad is buying one of our cars, my little sister got married (see Addie's message to her below), we found someone to rent our apartment (we didn't have to, but it's such a special place that we wanted to help the landlord find someone... that and he said he'd give us a $200 finders fee), and it seems as though the moving company will be able to deliver our goods on July 1st! Throughout all of this I keep thinking about Joseph's dreams of 7 years of abundance and 7 years of famine. Perspective, perspective, perspective...
I continue to pray that blessings are poured upon you and all of those who we care about (and those who we don't, too). Lord, please open the wombs and homes of those who seek to be parents. Provide for those seeking to care for their families. And please bless the neediest amongst us.

I am thankful for life!
