Thankful Thursday, Take 48

Thanking God this week for...

• a timely phone call from a friend today when I was feeling frustrated and isolated
• encouraging emails that arrive at just the right time
• Elijah's growth and health
• his starting to make noises besides screaming bloody murder--we much prefer the coos over the crying :)
• the lactation consultant at my local hospital
• Steve's sensitivity, servanthood and patience
• the internet and the vast amount of information at my fingertips
• novels that are just as good the second time you read them
• cooler weather
• long walks with my husband, son and dog
• pizza
• homemade chocolate-chip-cookie-ice-cream-sandwiches, courtesy of a friend from church
• His mercies, new every morning
• the fact that He is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love
• the glorious gospel that reminds me I'll never be good enough--but I don't have to be
