I'm Thankful

I'm thankful for...

--a Savior who loves me even though He knows my every weakness
--a loving husband and family who put up with my weirdness
--sisters to giggle with and an adventuresome brother
--a warm, cozy home
--friendships with kindred spirits
--my dream job: teaching my favorite subject at the best school in the world
--students who bring me joy and wonder every day
--the most beautiful season of the year: autumn
--the anticipation of Christmas
--singing beautiful songs in harmony with other voices
--a safe, neighborly community with a Thanksgiving joke of the day delivered to my door
--reading and exploring the continually new depths of scripture
--a kitty who snuggles with me
--minty hot chocolate
--the walls lined with overflowing bookshelves
--Shakespeare
--food aplenty
--looking forward to traveling to new places in the new year
--all of God's blessings in this life, but most importantly: the promise of heaven
