Thursday's Thankful Things
Our traditional Thanksgiving morning breakfast....cinnamon rolls and tangarines.
Card games with the cousins.
My view while making pies. :)
Daughter G's job has always been to set and decorate the tables.
I love each person around this table!
My nephew and soon to be niece-in-law.
Post dinner nap.
Somehow we manage to make room for dessert. ;)
So many blessings. My heart is full of gratitude to God!

Thursday's Thankful Things
Today I am thankful for....
My wonderful counselor, and the opportunity I have to pursue counseling. It is so helpful for me during this intense period of transition.
The Bible Study I have joined on Wednesday nights. We are doing this study, and I am gleaning so much each week.
Fall. I love that God made four distinct seasons for us to enjoy! They are each so beautiful in their own way.
My husband. His job has been very stressful of late, but he is the same even-tempered, patient man we all know. I love him so!
The new office I created for him. The children nixed calling it the "study," claiming that made it sound like a room for an old person, so we are calling it just the office now. :) It is almost completely done (waiting on the rug and window shade I ordered). It's peaceful and calm and clean and beautiful. I love it and hubby does, too!

Thursday's Thankful Things
A ride in the country with my hubby!
God's unfailing Word.
Daughter G being home from college for a whole week!
The Holy Spirit.
Wisdom and courage for parenting and for adulting.
A new denim jacket that I think makes me look hip!
A family portrait session planned for this weekend (that I bought said denim jacket for).
Two more pounds lost on my sugar fast. The weight loss is S-L-O-W this time, but steady. I'll take that.
A great college visit this week with son G, and another one planned for next week.

Thursday's Thankful Things
I am so thankful for God's Word! I am reading through the Gospel of John in these weeks leading up to Easter with an online group of women, and after only two days it has already been so rich. I am not part of a church tradition that typically "gives up" something for Lent in order to replace it with more time spent in God's Word and in prayer, but any time I can be challenged to spend time in God's Word is a good time.
If you would like to join me, here is the schedule.
I am also so very thankful for the gift of music, and thankful that five of our six children play an instrument or sing on a regular basis! Son C was asked to play special music during the communion portion of a recent worship service, and he practiced at home for literally hours and hours. Each time he would sit down to begin practicing that song, I felt like he led me into worship wherever I was in the house. I filmed him during practice, and in case the embedded video doesn't work down below, here is the link to view his song on you tube.

Thursday's Thankful Things
Today I am thankful for...
my cast being off! Yippee!!!!! Healing is not yet complete, but I have more mobility and I can WASH both my hands! After a week of my cast being off, I could even fit my wedding ring on. :)
three of our teenagers each taking a turn cooking dinner this week. Yes!
the beautiful fall colors and the bright sunshine.

3. The joy of seeing my children have FUN with their cousins.
4. Helpers in the kitchen, and so much good food to eat.
5. Games.
7. That my husband's parents are still with us, and healthy enough to share Thanksgiving with us.
8. For our official potato masher!
9. For each person around our table(s).
10. For my husband.
