every good and perfect gift is from Him.

so very thankful for:
  • Working alongside my husband at the dining room table (and in life)
  • Christmas surprises
  • Wedding invitation ornaments…(not an original idea…but one I’m rather fond of and am having fun implementing)
  • This year’s TA ornament from Addie (Excellent job! Talented girl! Generous heart! Reliable worker!)
  • That horrible version of “oh holy night” (I am not thankful for that version of the song…but thankful the laughter – and cringes – it causes)
  • Eli’s monopoly skillz
  • The words/picture Jessica Hall shared with me after crave yesterday
  • That man in wal-mart who was talking on the phone and said (rather adamantly) “but I’m not on the grass cutting committee.”
  • The fabulous (live!)(loud!) band that was playing in the White’s living room Wednesday afternoon
  • Parts of my house are cleaner and more organized than they’ve been in a while (other parts, not so much)
  • Worship.
  • Thinking about (and practicing) how to live more simply in order to give more generously.
  • Waking up in the middle of the night and falling back asleep to the sound of the rain
  • When the clocks says 12:34 (1,2,3,4)
  • Good smelling soap. Being clean. What a privilege we so often take for granted.
unthankful for:
  • whatever is responsible for the deaths of the other 2 chickens. we are officially chickenless.
