so many things to be thankful for (more than i realized)
- friday morning's "conditiong" in the exercise class - it was challenging AND do-able at the same time
- leanne's helpfulness (her servant's heart is lovely!)
- green olives
- celebratory coke! (and what was i celebrating? the fact that all 3 kids were asleep)
- paying in change (for some silly reason it doesn't feel like i'm really spending money if i pay in change)
- being obedient to the promptings of God (thankful for the chance to be obedient in such a tangible way...thankful for the result) (it was rather simple... if i hadn't listened to God when He prompted me to write a note, i wouldn't have left the cabin/wouldn't have run into the person where and when i did/wouldn't have had the conversation we had)
- bethel live "closer" song (see previous post if you haven't heard it)
- lane's phone call
- totally unexpected generous financial gift
- emma asking "can we go worship with the patients?"
- emma is ok (after falling out of the top bunk during her nap i wasn't so sure..i believe some angels may have been involved)
- nick's access to itunes these past 2 weeks
- i got my camara back! (it was "on loan" for a few days)
- cash crew email update #1 is done (with mistakes...but done)
- there are always things to be thankful (even if "at first glance" there doesn't seem to be)
- it's 8:20pm (tuesday night) and Caroline is asleep (that rarely happens!!)
- a dr. pepper to share with my favorite 2nd grade teacher on the ship
- my girls' sweet smiles
- successful visit with the kids to the Hope Center
