Gratitude Time

Tonight is time for a new list of gratitude's, not because of any old list being outdated, but because there have been many more to add to existing lists.

Being grateful helps us stay focused on what is good and right about life, even in the midst of hardships and difficulties.

In no particular order....

Faith, and hope

The tender love of a child

My wonderfully loving husband and our children

babies, tiny pure minded humans with no agenda

Fun board games at the kitchen table

godly friends

herbs that heal, my cold is nearly gone after just a couple days

A birthday to celebrate this month

Good books, that encourage

warm socks on cold mornings

a nest full of brown and green eggs

the smell of hay in the barn

The way wool feels as it slides through my fingers as I spin

I am grateful for silence and for sound

Sunrises and sunsets

The way my husband holds my hand in his

That my children love me and like me

That my husband is looked upon as a godly man by those who know him

That we got a new load of wood today

For our friends recovery from Cancer

For memories

I am ever so grateful for parents that loved me

For aunts, uncles and cousins that were like an extension of our immediate family

Oh I think its best to stop here, the list could go on and on.

One more thing, I am thankful for red, I love the color red. Sounds silly but I really love red : )
