I believe there was rejoicing in heaven tonight.  Afterwards we stopped at cold stone before getting the kids.

I am so thankful for family. I am thankful for Joshua's baptism and the support we enjoyed.  I am thankful my leg is doing good right now and that my head doesn't hurt and that I got the trampoline mat on and that we have Heidi Potts Hamilton​ and her family staying with us.  I am thankful for little ones who come to me, big grandkids who smile and still run to me and older teens who still amaze me with their awesomeness... I am so thankful.
I am thankful that Dan and I get to work with Heidi and Jason as we manage our rental property in Cedar.  I am impressed with them on a new level now.  I am thankful that I feel more order at home right now. I am thankful that I plan to learn how to do extraction, thankful for looking forward to seeing the beauties of Alaska in less than 2 weeks and thankful I can lead the children in singing as a sub today.  My life is so full, so rich and so blessed.  Thank you Father.
I am thankful for my toes. I have a dear friend and relative who is loosing some of his toe tomorrow. He is being brave in the face of discouragement I am thankful I can pray for him
I am thankful for family and friends and neighbors. Sometimes I feel that I am in a cocoon of love and kindness. That is an incredible blessing
I am thankful for hope as shown in the eyes of my friend after surgery, hope in the efforts of a 7 year old to do the hoola hoop, hope when my to-do list gets a little shorter, hope in a refreshing drink of ice water and hope in the thoughtfulness of a friend, the wings of a bird and the countless opportunities in a keyboard.  I am thankful for hope.  I am thankful for thee.
Having microsoft computer problems the last few days  makes me grateful for when it works right. Getting sick today makes me grateful for the many days when I have energy and a clear mind.  Feeling the loss of my friend, Connie, makes me grateful for the times we laughed.  Sometimes I have to experience the rain to appreciate the sun.  I want to be thankful for both of them....help me, Dear Father, to be grateful for both.
