Today, I am grateful for graduations. Our babysitter Connor graduated from high school this weekend, and Jack's favorite part of the party was posing by some guest's Camaro.
Jack says he will have a blue Camaro to go in his blue fortress when he grows up.
Today, I am grateful that Nick's baseball team finally won a game. I am also grateful for the spectacular catch Nick made out in left field...and the look of shock on his face when he realized he had made the catch!
Today, I am grateful for light...for the sun, the moon, electricity, the flashing light on my phone indicated a text or email, night lights, refrigerator lights, car lights, the light of my Nook tablet screen, the light of ten million fireflies lighting up our woods last night.
Today, I am grateful for friends who pray for me. I always feel weird praying for myself. Oh, I pray every day that God will make me a blessing to someone and that He will show me His way, but when I'm feeling weak or tired or grouchy or unhinged, I feel weird asking for God's help, even though I need it and He wouldn't mind at all. Pride, I think. I should be able to get control on my own. Working on that.
Today, I am grateful for cooler temperatures and birdsong.
What are you grateful for today?
Two great pictures, through I think Nick would have to fight me for the chance behind the wheel of that Camero LOL!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm thankful for good friends, and for a God who is faithful and sovereign amidst life's storms.
Susan, Nick's catch made me think of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXVnb0wveRg, based on the book by Willy Welch. That song brings tears to my eyes everytime! Hooray for startled kids in right or left field! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful that I can still wake up every morning and say what an awesome day it's going to be. My life has not been easy this past year and I have to focus on the positive. Very grateful for the family that allowed me to rent their in-law's cottage with my dog Annie. Grateful that I finally have a real bed to sleep in at night in my very own space. Grateful that I have the ability to afford to live in a nice, safe and clean place. Thankful for having a full size kitchen and a washer and dryer inside. Life's little pleasures!
ReplyDeleteBig thank you to Susan for reminding us to be grateful and thankful for what we have.
