even more to be thankful for than i realize...

  • the beautiful bird i saw on my walk (at first i thought it was white, red & green like the flag of italy...but then i realized it was red, yellow & green...or maybe blue...i don't know!  it was beautiful...and felt a bit out of place in the woods of Texas...)
  • 10,000 reasons song
  • JJ's willingness to keep our fridge and kitchen "stocked" and his faithfulness to make coffee
  • sugar coated raisins (the best part of raisin bran)
  • "God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are."   Romans 8:16
  • Worship at CCF on Sunday (especially the "Great I am" part)
  • playing soccer with caroline
  • throwing frisbee with eli
  • doing 2 previously mentioned things at the same time
  • chick-fil-a (i didn't realize how much i missed it!)
  • package from the wells (2 golden doughnuts for nick included!!!)
  • getting to see & spend time with the edfeldt's!
  • the experience of the Bass Pro Shop
  • this week's wide open schedule (for the most part)(for the most part it's wide open...and for the most part i'm thankful for that!)(though i must admit it was a bit of an adjustment to go from the past 4 weeks being super scheduled to a week that is more "choose your own adventure" ish)
  • "those with Him will be the called, chosen & faithful."  jesus calling
  • yummy icecream sundaes at the blackburn's...and a backyard that lives up to its description
  • time in the cafe with caroline
  • productive time of emailing the other day (along with easy access to email addresses)
  • card & pictures from molly
  • shredding with caroline (with a paper shredder...not the workout video...)
  • super special 4:45am date with God
  • God never sleeps (along with the realization that the entire world never sleeps all at one time - and that's one of the reasons God never sleeps)
  • a change of plans that is resulting in someone getting something that i wanted them to get all along...
  • realizing that i have more to be thankful for than i realized.
  • 3 thankful pictures:    
    last week's pedicure.
    my absolute favorite piece of jewelry (except for my engagement/wedding ring).  amazima.org
the kids with "bubba teeth" - this picture makes me smile...and i'm thankful for that!! :) (and thankful their teeth don't really look like this....)
