- to live in America, where car parts and mechanics are available
- for friends who will drop everything and come assist when you're hot and sweaty and soaked through and ready to throw things
- for families, in all their uniqueness
- for a husband who is also my best friend
- for quilt shops (not every town has one within driving distance, you know)
- for my sewing machine. That may sound trite to those who don't sew, but my husband could have balked at its price, and he didn't.
- for thunderstorms. I don't know why, but being inside while the thunder rolls and lightning lights up the darkened sky has always been a bit reassuring (unless the lightning gets too close to the house)
- for children...their honesty, their curiosity, their excitement
- for books, and a nation that doesn't censor what we read
- for Facebook. It's not the same as everyone being together for the holidays, but it's the next best thing
- to not hear football stuff 24/7
- that my parents are most likely coming to visit next month :)
- that God has provided for several friends' financial needs relating to school bills
- for the gift of music
- that God's mercy is new to me EVERY SINGLE MORNING!
- for the person who created waterbeds, enabling my husband to sleep through the night without having to be turned
- for a nation that requires curb cuts and handicap parking
- for the ability to walk through a parking lot, even if it's full of water puddles
- for stores that sell wide and extra wide shoes
- for cameras
- for riding lawn mowers
- for a husband who doesn't complain nor comment when I don't weedeat/mow the ditch for three weeks straight (and maybe a tad longer!)
- that God does not expect of me what I sometimes expect of others
- that God is patient
- for the privilege to talk to God in prayer
- that God doesn't have a "don't touch until the clay is dry" sign on his personage
- for my fellow bloggers
- for the internet!
- that family fun fest (our church's annual outreach) is only once a year
- that the end is in sight for the most time consuming areas of my garden
- that the garden I wasn't going to have has been my smallest and most productive yet
- that Buster hasn't killed any more chickens or geese
- that Bobby doesn't have to work tomorrow
- for grace...
