Gratitude, Part 1
Nine thing that I am thankful for ~ in no particular order even though my CDO wants to rearrange them:
The internet - which provides continual information and often serves as a tool for clarification. Most recently I was struggling with a particular Bible verse and wondering how it fit with all of the truths that I know. An online search helped me to understand the whole passage rather than just the verse that I was hung up on.
Our young friend Jethro - who asked my husband to grow a mustache with him for 'Mo-vember'. I don't know if TDM is going to participate but it made me smile. And for the record, his real name is not Jethro. He is a good guy, I'm pretty sure that Miss E has a crush on him and our entire family has enjoyed getting to know him over the last year.
Food in our freezer - only God had knowledge of what this fall and winter would bring for us financially and I am thankful His provision.
Creativity - this God given talent has served me in so many ways and in turn has allowed me to serve others.
Uncle Pedro and Aunt GG - who will be living a few short hours from us before this month is over. They have been blessed with things falling into place and safety during their move from the West. I am so thankful for both of them and even more thankful that my girls will get to live closer to them. The West was really, really far away!
My little family- they give my life purpose. TDM who makes me smile, infuriates me and is my soft place to fall. Miss E who turned our lives upside down and continues to make it interesting. Smiley Girl, our imitator, entertainer and snuggler.
Modern medicine - which was able to intervene to make my body work the way it should. Without it I would not have Miss E and Smiley Girl.
My bigger family - the whole bunch of them! My parents and TDM's, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and one gorgeous niece. Each one is so unique and precious. I am blessed.
Quiet time - which keeps me sane in this insane life I live. In a world of too much busy, too much stuff and too much noise I am thankful for minutes of nothing when I can take a minute to relax. It works so much better than yelling 'Serenity now!!!' like the character on Seinfeld tried.
