…for gold and pink sunrises

…for cooler temperatures

…for friends who understand that not everyone comes as a couple

…for good coffee

…for airplanes that take me back “home”

…for a church that has become my family when I’m so far from my own

…for hugs from six nephews, big and small

…for the people in my life who challenge my thinking

…for college students who inspire me

…for holidays

…for laughter

…for family

…for hope

…for the God who knows me, loves me and blessed me beyond measure

Thankful.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him and bless His name.  Psalm 100:4

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.  Psalm 103:2

Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever.  Amen.  Revelation 7:2
