Thankfulness!

I think I am in a post family visiting, post vacation funk.   I actually got teary dropping my daughter off at choir camp  this morning.   To combat the funk, I am going to list all the things I am thankful for.  These are in no particular order, just written as they rolled off my brain.

#1 For my husband who is a wonderful provider

#2 For Jason's stable job

#3 For a church that is growing and reaching people daily

#4 For a church that encourages me and my family to grow spiritually

#5 For children who are healthy

#6 For a house that has all the square footage I could ever want

#7 For the opportunity to do a missions project in my own city, which I treasure because I can't see myself 

going out of the country again until the children are older.  

# 8 To get to live near family again

#9 For a little boy who loves to talk to me nonstop after his sister talked to me nonstop while she was home this morning.

#10 To live in a country where we can worship Jesus freely.

#11 For a washer and dryer that work and I don't have to wash by hand

#12 & #13 For a computer whose hard drive has not died yet and for a husband who is taking care of fixing it

#14 For the opportunity to stay home with my children

#15 For the time to explore various creative outlets

#16 For running water and sanitation

#17 For a wonderful violin teacher

#18 For vacations that are relaxing

#19 For a spring garden that worked and allowed me to freeze some veggies

#20 For a blog that records slices of our daily life so that I can have a written record of our lives.
