I'm thankful:
-for my down comforter, which I don't even like to store in the summer
-for my adorable and hilarious brother who turned 29 on Sabbath
-to not have any 7 AM classes this semester
-that God knows what I need more than I do and finds ways to patiently get through to me
-for the fresh peach cobbler we ate yesterday
-that the turf war between my teacher and his colleague has ended, making my mornings less stressful
-for JOY
-for an understanding of the wonder of creation amidst classrooms full of evolution
-for a hope and a future in times of global uncertainty, and the ability to share them
-for surprise packages in the mail :-)
-for tomatoes from our own garden
-for all the gorgeous varieties of trees I'm enjoying studying
-for a wise, Godly mother
-for an inability to see the end of this list anywhere in sight...
I like your list:) Thanks for sharing. If I were to write one it would go something like this:
ReplyDeleteCalluses
Clean water
Cool wind on a hot day
No light pollution, which = more stars to see
Good friends
That the adventures are just beginning...
I especially love two and four...
ReplyDeleteand thirteen. All so true.

The wonderful thing about lists like these is that it really helps the rest of us look (and put together) our own lists :-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have an awesome list! Right now I'm thankful for:
ReplyDelete-a place to cook food
-a multitude of babies to play with and love
-people who encourage me to learn and grow
-a mostly-reliable internet connection
-a blog to share my stories
-a headlamp for when the power goes out at night
-the opportunity to make a difference
Oh, now I want to share my list, too! :)
ReplyDelete-inspiring teachers!

I like your list, Joel... I've been appreciative of all those things at one time or another, though I love the last two the best.
P.S. Where's your list, Elwyn? I miss you.
