Thankful Thursday, Take 80

Thanking God this week for...

• the grace to get out of bed early
• a patient husband who helps me do so
• slightly cooler weather to make morning walks at least somewhat bearable
• a long phone chat with my best friend
• catching up with a college friend last weekend, and her willingness to share her heart
• getting to see my roommate in one of my favorite musicals ever
• the chance to celebrate with Steve's cousin and his wife as they began their marriage
• the fabulous homemade pizza crust recipe a friend from church gave me
• a new recipe that Steve raved about on the first try
• the Bible read on CD
• the ability to read it for myself
• the fact that God does not require our complete understanding before He saves us or uses us
• the One who bore my sins in His body on the tree
• the healing and peace with God His wounds provide
