Thankful Thursday, Take 91

Thanking God this week for...

• contact lenses
• specifically, the way contact lenses protect my eyes from burning and tearing profusely when chopping onions
• the colors of fall--they never get old
• the fact that Elijah will "never know a time when an African-American couldn’t be the most powerful person in the world" (22 Words)
• YouTube videos that make me laugh out loud, hard
• the adorable things preschoolers say
• a visit from dear friends
• unseasonably warm days
• the fact that it's light out when I get up in the mornings again, for a little while longer
• freedom to express my political and religious views without fear of persecution
• broadening my understanding of His sovereignty over the last several years
• opening my eyes to His truth
• the diversity of spiritual gifts within the Body
• the incredible ways He changes lives
