November of Thanksgiving 4
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 10:19PM 
Last night I went to sleep with my window open, listening to one of the most pleasant sounds for sleeping—the sound of steady rain. That might not seem like a big thing to you, but rain in November is almost unheard of here. And the next time I go to sleep to the sound of rain will probably be in April or May next year. It would be wrong not to note it and thank God for it, don’t you think?

- Diane is thankful for her husband’s profundity.

What are you thankful for today?
I’ll be back this evening (late) to add any more thanksgiving posts I find (or that you point me to). As more people participate, it gets more likely that I’ll make mistakes in my posting, so if I miss your post or mess up a link, please tell me. And remember, if you miss a day or two, you’ll need to give me a heads up on your next thanksgiving post.
Do you want to participate, too? You’ll find instructions here for the ways both bloggers and nonbloggers can join in the thanksgiving.

I love the sound of rain at night too - a rarity in the desert. The sound of crickets on a summer evening also lulls me to sleep. God's music is sweet indeed!
One of the most soothing sounds in the world, I think.
I love a good rain or gentle (not crashing!) thunderstorm while sleeping. I used to long for a tin roof so I could really hear the rain, but I think I'm too old for that now. :)
It has been raining a little bit here too...we just love it!
Thank you, for hosting this.
We have an aluminum roof here at the cottage and I love the sound of the rain on it. I'm thankful that I can still hear it too!
