In Preparation For

I was thinking this week, as I scrubbed out the fridge and made a shopping list, (and another shopping list and then another shopping list) and strategized how to clean the house with a two person wreaking crew in residence, how thankful I am for this life.

I am thankful for our home, that our family can live and play and work comfortably, and that we can welcome friends and family.    For the food we eat, not just in celebration, but the food we eat every day.  For my family's health. For my husband, who is generous and hard working and cares so well for our family. For my children, just as they are.  This week, I am giving thanks, in preparation for giving thanks.
