Thankful Thursday

I realized this week that I've let Thankful Thursday degenerate into a list of things that are obviously good things that I ought to be thankful for. And there's nothing wrong with being thankful to big answers to prayer! But having a daily attitude of thanksgiving requires looking at everything with gratitude, including what I usually take for granted. So today I am thankful for...

1. Good, godly books I can read.

2. A husband who calls me "dear Lady"

3. Hot water

4. Deirdre's smile

5. Boys who don't mind playing with their two year old sister.

6. Molly's talent for drawing

7. The little wild daisies I can see from my kitchen window

8. Friends who pray for us

A Funny from Deirdre:

Yesterday I was watching a video with Deirdre, and it featured a lively tune. I was humming along and bopping my head around (I have such an incredible sense of rhythm, you know), and Deirdre came over and put her hand on my knee. She looked at me seriously and shook her head and said, "No, Mommy. No dance."  

I guess my efforts at being lively were just too painful for her to watch.
