My Thankful Post

As the Thanksgiving season is upon us, I have been thinking everyday about things I am most thankful for.  Yesterday as I was driving home from taking Abby to meet Dave for band, I was thankful for this beautiful part of the road.  It's a curve and a hill covered with trees of the brightest orange, red, and yellow leaves.  I am thankful for Dave for so many reasons, one reason is that he likes to do things with me.  He likes to shop with me, enjoys putting up the Christmas tree, take walks(sometimes), drink coffee anytime of day, and keep the house clean.  Some of these may not be his favorite things to do, but he does them because I like them.  I am thankful that I am able to continue to teach my children.  I am thankful for the days even when things are chaotic and it seems no one has learned anything.  I am thankful for our home.  It's cozy and warm and welcoming to friends and family.   I am thankful for Erin's funny personality, Samuel's quirky ways, and Abby's sense of humor. I am thankful for our family.  The ones that are near and far. And for the friends that are like family.  I am thankful for no signs of cancer this season.  I am thankful for time alone in the afternoon.  our fireplace. good coffee.  walks in the park.  McDonald's ice cream cones.  Christmas music.  I am thankful for the Gospel.  that it changed my heart.
