thankful thursdays 9/22

Sep 22, 2011

* Blue skies and sunshine. These two things do wonders for my soul. I think I may have mentioned these items last week…but if so, it is because I love them oh, so much and am seriously dreading overcast skies full of gloom.

* My husband and I went on a Sunday walk. He often goes out alone on the Sabbath to clear his mind of the world’s clutter and get in touch with who he is and who He is. This week, my sweetie invited me and it was so lovely to walk with him, holding his hand, and talk with no interruptions and no pressure…just being with one another is one of my favorite things to do and it happens far too little.

* Liz shared her Armenian Cucumbers with me yesterday. Can I just say YUMMMMMMY! She sat right down on the ball field at iFamily, cut them up, dripped fresh lime juice, salt, and lemon pepper on them. Such deliciousness! They were a gazillion times better than whatever cucumbers are standard fare at the grocery store.

* My ISP sent a tech out and he readjusted some settings on the computer and now my speed is gobs faster! Yippee! I can finally do Facetime!

* I have been full of gratitude this week for my precious children. I am so thankful they love the Lord Jesus and want to serve Him. They may bicker and ignore me and disappear and break things and have messy rooms and roll their eyes at me and forget to tell me important information and a million other things that sometimes drive me bonkers, but they love Jesus and they desire to follow Him.

* I am grateful for afternoon naps…sometimes they are the only things that keep my head above water. I think America should adopt siesta.
