• “God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God’s holy best” Hebrews 12:10

• “choose to see” – I’m not entirely sure of the significance of this phrase…but I know it’s something and I’m looking forward to finding out.
• chips & salsa
• Yaya & Grandaddy’s call – and their willingness to set their alarm & get up in the middle of the night to call the kiddos before school
• Lauren & Benji Marquez.  I’m thankful for them on a lot of levels…but I’m especially thankful for “their story” – their story of God’s faithfulness…good things GREAT AMAZING WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL things come to those who wait on the Lord.  Happy 3^rd Anniversary, you 2!
• UGA beat Florida.  What a silly thing to be thankful for…but I’m thankful nonetheless (though I wouldn’t have been “unthankful” had the dawgs lost…)
• i finally finished that book.  (it wasn’t very good…but I just can’t start a book and NOT finish it)
• Caroline’s bible study (that is lead by 2 girls on our hall – one is 8, the other is 10.  It’s actually pretty legit.)
• the container made it through customs!
• our deck crew’s efficiency in getting it onto the ship and unloaded.
• Sarah Phillip’s kindness and timing to carry our 2 boxes upstairs
• 2 boxes full of wonderful thoughtfulness and goodies!
• a growing understanding, love and appreciation for soccer.
• getting to respond to amy’s question/assignment of “what’s it like to be on the other side of me?”
• The coolness (in so many ways) of Grant and Jessica Flynn
• The kids got to go to “Candyland” at the US Embassy yesterday.  That’s just fun in so many ways.
• meaningful responses to emails
