In spite of current economic woes, fuel shortages, and a myriad of other things to make hearts anxious, I choose to keep repeating the above verse. I choose to rejoice today.
My current thankful list is extremely long so I will only mention a few things here:
- A safe return from our 10 day trek to the north.
- Gorgeous foliage in New England.
- Visiting with my mother for parts of 5 days, and finding her calm, fairly content, and not too confused.
- The joy of watching my mother devour her lobster roll...every last bit of it. It was fun to watch.
- The fun of watching her eat a jelly donut...after not being hungry enough to eat her lunch, or at least most of it.
- Coming home to find fresh roses around the house. Thanks to our amazing and thoughtful daughter, who had been watching the house, getting mail, feeding Max, and watering the roses for us in our absence. It took me awhile to notice them all, but I did! Thanks Penny!
- Hubby's ability to do all the driving on this trip. Even though he didn't feel great a couple of days, he was still able to drive.
- Soaking in the richness of God's word at the various meetings at the convention we attended.
- Spending some good time visiting with our missionary friends who are currently on furlough from Brazil.
- Enjoying watching a hail storm one evening this week...that is we enjoyed it after we stopped driving in it.
- Spending time with family and friends.
- Being able to find gas on the trip when we needed it.
- Finding some blueberry flavored coffee in our local grocery store this morning.
