Thankfulness...

Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
Come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
We are his people, the sheep of his parture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
And his courts with praise;
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

I am thankful for the big things in life-God's enduring love and faithfulness, my family, and my health. But, there are a lot of little things I'm thankful for too!

• early mornings with coffee
• being able to turn up the heater when I'm chilly
• a good nights sleep (after last week I'm very thankful for this)
• a job that I love
• the Seahawks have the best record in the NFC (maybe excited more than thankful :-))
• our library
• a clean house
• thankful, thoughtful kids (well, except for yesterday :-))
• the fact that it snows here (oh, please, please snow soon)
• books on tape in the car with the kids and the common phrases we get from them
• learning new things
• a husband who gives me evenings to myself especially after long days (like yesterday)
• new beginnings each day
• children who are enthusiastic learners (well, except for....yah, you guessed it...yesterday)
• a new bottle of bubble bath

The list could go on and on, but it is enough for now. I'm thankful for the little things.
