Have you ever thought of listing the things you are grateful for? I was pondering this on the way to co-op yesterday and found a number of things. It continued as I cleaned up the kitchen. Here's the things I have found:
- guys that work for landscaping companies and keep common area's looking nice
- the American flag and all the folks that have died for our freedom
- the snow emergency signs along the road that reminded me of the police and fire and rescue departments that serve us as well
- traffic laws, that are followed somewhat, that help to keep us safe
- a church where we are able to worship God freely
- a co-op where my children learn various subjects and the bible is tied into lessons freely
- a vehicle that runs
- a mechanic that helps to keep my vehicle running
- a beautiful day
- sleep (really appreciated after a night of bad sleep)
- dishes that need to be unloaded from the dishwasher
- dirty dishes that need to be loaded into the dishwasher
- counter tops that need to be cleaned
- the capability to wash dishes by hand
- having enough physical stamina to stand while hand washing dishes
- clean towels to dry those dishes
- a freezer full of food that I have to dig through in order to find what we're having for dinner
- cool weather
- a computer that enables me to keep in touch with friends
- our home study is moving along ~ we're just waiting on a couple letters of reference to be turned in, then we're almost finished with that step
- friends who want the best for you, enough to "call you on the mat" when needed
- friends that have kids my kids ages and they get along!
- coupons to my favorite stores (Joann's and Micheal's)
- ability to launder sheets and clothes at home
- friends that make me laugh
- a child that tends to be quiet
- a child that tends to be "all boy"
- a husband taking off training wheels
