I'm thankful for this time of year to help me focus in on what I am thankful for in life. It makes me look around me more and appreciate what's there. So here it goes!
I'm thankful for...
- Random moments of fun, like sitting on the floor and using the coffee table as the dinner table!!
- My mom- she has a great sense of humor, meaning that there are lots of moments of laughter! Also she has an inquisitive mind, so she is always questioning things. That in turn makes me have to think and be challenged. It's good
- Fresh pressed apple cider
- Long walks in the rain.
- My little brother that brings and makes me EmergenC
- Being able to help out at Community Service today, it was a lot of fun
- Crazy ideas and adventures.
- A candle lit evening and watching "Gospel of Luke" to bring in the Sabbath!
- Friends like Sharon VanCleave that come and eat with our family
- A fun crafting afternoon at Michelle Cifuentes place
- All those family members who are or have served our country!
- Good ol' southern gospel music like this... :D http://youtu.be/JhNxXBTIjfk
- The gift of sight, especially after walking 4+ miles around our neighborhood with an eye mask on!
- The book, "Tear Soup" by Pat Schwiebert and the chance it gave us to create more of our own tear soup and reminisce.
- a chance to see friends (and meet new ones) and practice in the large choir at Sunnyside Church
- a fun Sabbath day of eating over at the Segura's, then going to the Fubon Asian market, eating durian smoothies, going to a Jamie Jorge concert, and then ending with pie at Sharis!
- a free haircut by Jennifer Lund
- all my student missionaries and task force! Their willingness to serve and make a difference where they're at, despite the challenges and uncertainties makes me so proud! Keep up the good work everyone!
- my crazy little niece, Sierra, who is 3 years old today! And what better way to celebrate a birthday, then to have some frozen durian!!?!
- the chance to see an echocardiogram done, it made me re-appreciate the function of our hearts!! It is SO fascinating seeing the blood pumping in and out of our valves and chambers so efficiently and precisely (and in some cases, not so wonderfully) and not having to think about it!! God's pretty smart!
- Singing hymns with Rachelle.
- Listening to Herb Montgomery and David Asscherick sermons
- Selah concerts and seeing friends like Bethani King and Elissa McMurry!
- Spending time with Caleb and Danielle and all their kiddos!
- My grandparents Bob Clayville and Peggy who celebrated 68 years of marriage!
- Being closer to Christmas and having another song by Pentatonix!
27. All these crazy people being under one roof and having a movie night!
28. My family's willingness to do something crazy, like dressing formal for Thanksgiving
29. The Wilson family's kindness in blowing our leaves, patching our roof, and baking us bread.
30. Aunt Aimee, who came to visit us for a couple day!
