I have been learning that contentment comes from being grateful,
which usually comes from giving thanks.
This week I give thanks for
colors (like the blue of the sky today)
a breeze
bare feet
cold weather (which we’ve almost had)
libraries
books
chocolate (it makes me exercise self-control)
cookies
hot cocoa with lots of cool whip
a warm house filled with love
my family
laughter
tears
bad days (they make me more like Christ)
enough cars that we have to decide which ones NOT to take
so many clothes that I worry about over-packing
my grandparents
cousins
Thanksgiving football
Dallas Cowboys (do I have to be thankful for Jerry Jones?)
aunts and uncles who taught me how to yell for the Cowboys at a very early age
food (in moderation)
good friends
music
a marvelous grand at the church to practice on
Downs Syndrome
my baby sister
my Christ…He is my beginning and end

Hi, happy Thanks Giving. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas season
Cute, really cute ;)Actually, I read the weather report and adjusted my apparel selection accordingly.
Where do you get your goats milk and cheese? Our goats milk in AR was rather “goaty” but Joel thinks that was becuase we had a billy. He got his scent everywhere especially on the nannies. We met a lady in AR who really pampered her milk goat and the goat was more like a family pet than just some livestock. She had a coat to wear when it was cold and a special one to wear during milking to keep the hair out. She also was allowed in the house and given frequent baths. You should have seen Mom’s face when I told her the goat would be a house pet. She was not impressed.
