Thankful Thursday, Take 103

Thanking God this week for...

• today's playdate with a friend and her funny, adorable kiddos
• vegetable beef soup
• my new enormous crockpot to cook it in
• random candy bars on clearance for 25 cents at the grocery store...wait, maybe I shouldn't be thankful for that...
• encouragement from people who read what I've written
• clean drinking water
• baby feet
• a soft and warm handmade afghan, even if it is terribly misshapen (my first Christmas gift to Steve, and also my first attempt at crochet--it is, shall we say, interesting)
• giving me the ability to memorize large portions of text
• grace to change
• calling me to Himself
• reinforcing lessons He's teaching me from several different places
• intertwining our gladness and joy with His glory
