God is great and Holy and wonderful; how is it that I so quickly forget that? As much as I’d like to have it all together and have finally succeeded in daily sitting quietly in His presence in worship and remembrance, I still fail. I still forget from time to time how great and wonderful… Read More Day 233- Thankful God does not need us to validate Him
I’ve loved the mountains ever since I can remember noticing them. We used to go through them almost every year to visit my grandma and grandpa, my mom’s sister, and her family. I remember traveling through them when I must have just learned to read; I thought it was so funny that there were so… Read More Day 232- Thankful for mountains (photos)

If I don’t empty the trash quickly after that smell starts, the smell has a way of odorizing the entire kitchen,… Read More Day 227- Thankful for trash pickup
I know I’ve written before about thunder and storms here and here, and I had forgotten that I already wrote about refreshing summer rain , but there’s just something so peaceful about a summer rain after a few weeks of dryness. Several days ago I finally broke down and watered the garden because it had been… Read More Day 226- Thankful for showers of blessing

I had thought about getting contacts, and the doctor had me try 3 different kinds, and I decided… Read More Day 225- Thankful for other people’s giftedness and skills
