On top of our short daylight hours, lately we’ve had clouds so low the sun might as well not bother rising because it’s going to be gloomier than gloomy anyway. But I’ve learned there’s no better time to acknowledge God’s good gifts to me than when I’m feeling grumpy.
I’m thankful
- for something important that came in the mail. My sister and I are still working to settle my dad’s estate, and we’ve been frustrated with mail service between the U.S and Canada. But today, a piece of mail came right when it was expected.
- for a craft project done with the grandchildren. No one cried, no one died, and there’s a finshed project, to boot. As far as three-toddler craft projects go, that’s extremely successful—and something to be thankful for.
- for trusty winter tires and safe driving on icy roads.
- lamps and candles and a string of white mini-lights.
- that Jesus is the light of the world and will be the light of the New Jerusalem.
Also thankful today:
- Melissa
- Kim Shay
- Kevin Sorensen
- Update: Persis
