11-25 Zac Update From Kristi:

It’s a Happy Thanksgiving

by choice

In the quietness of this morning, I began to reflect on last years Thanksgiving, it was 6 days into Zac’s paralysis, it was the day he was discharged from ICU - we celebrated it away from family by having lunch outside on the hospital patio as the nurse fed Zac his Thanksgiving dinner for his fingers were not moving and he could not feed himself.

Zacs “future” suddenly looked very different then any of us had imagined.

So we had to choose.

We had to chose to believe that God was working in the waiting, and though the future was not clear to us, we would trust Him anyway.

A few hours before Zac got injured, he was at the church by himself, standing at the keyboard, singing and playing this song with his working fingers:

“Every breath I breathe an invitation

To believe You are creating

Something good,

Though this season doesn't tell my story

I know You'll move mountains for me

You're just that good

So I'll give thanks to God

When I don't have enough

'Cause He's more than enough

And He knows what I need

So why do I worry?

God knows what I need.”

Truth he believed before he even knew he would need it.

This Thanksgiving, we are back at Craig Hospital for therapy and our entire family is together.

It is a Happy Thanksgiving, by choice, for we choose to give thanks to God, and we choose trust Him; God knows what we need and this is enough to fill our hearts with joy.
