Thanksgiving Eve

Twas the day before Thanksgiving

We got quite the surprise--

we found I was expecting

not one, but two little guys!

My heart about stopped,

tears welled in my eyes,

for I knew God was bigger

and He heard all my cries.

Yes, it was quite a shock

to our systems that day.

But now we must begin

for two babies to pray.

I wish I could say

that I thought it'd be great,

but to be real honest

my smile was all fake.

You see, I loved my baby

who had just turned 6 months

and just couldn't fathom

that now we'd have a bunch.

Now one whole year later,

it hasn't been easy.

We've now got three boys

and this poem that is cheesy.

So join me today to remember last year

and a moment of silence for days that are so dear.

So a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

from the new and improved

and expanded Johnston fam.

*****************************

It really was a whole year ago 'today' {the day before Thanksgiving} when we learned that we were expecting twins. I wish I could say that I was elated with unspeakable joy, but to be honest, I spent the next few weeks in quite a fog trying to figure out which way was 'up' and reason with myself and God as to why He would give us two more babies when my husband's hours were {are} greatly reduced.

It shouldn't at all be to my suprise that the Lord has shown himself completely faithful in this last year, and has provided for every last one of our needs, sometimes in unconventional ways, and sometimes in ways that were simply jaw dropping.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
