Practicing contentment by remembering thegraces of the week and practicing gratitude through giving.


I'm thankful for grocery deals, for mechanics who can turn a $340 job into a $40 job, for friends.  For delicious smelling foods of the season and yummy tasting treats.  For health and great doctors who not only have great bedside personality but are great at their jobs too.  For cookies & milk and freezer meals.  For visits from family and time watching GTot enjoy her aunts and uncles.  Facebook conversations and text chatter.  


Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light.” (James 1:16 -The Message) May the light of the Father brighten your week!

Sunday Sunshine

Practicing contentment by remembering thegraces of the week and practicing gratitude through giving.


This week I am thankful for . . .


:: Friends. The ones who you can call for help in the middle of the night, who come and hang out and chat over pizza, the ones you catch up with over a long distance phone call or steaming cups at Panera and new friends made over a meal and bonfire.
:: The Non-Routine.  The routine of this week was all messed up and it was good!
:: Folks who will pitch in to help out a stranger in a time of need.  Good people around here!
:: Tortellini Alfredo. mmmm...
:: The hilarious things that come out of my daughter's mouth.  Things only a 2 year old can come up with!
:: Surprise calls and visits from siblings. 
:: Warm house as the temperatures drop.
:: Sunny, clear fall days.


Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light.” (James 1:16 -The Message) May the light of the Father brighten your week!
