Another Monday zipping by, and I've not had time to post my gratitude list. Right now I'm especially thankful for:
11. Time this past weekend to cook, bake and clean. Now if I could only wiggle some writing time in there!
12. The fact that my seven year old truly enjoys (yes, ENJOYS!) scrubbing the bathtub. Cleaning the bathroom has always been my least favorite chore, and it's so much more fun with an enthusiastic little girl right beside me, chipping in and marveling over the fun of scrubbing sponges and soap.
13. That we have not yet succumbed to illness. There are a lot of germs floating around out there, seemingly everywhere we turn. Neither D nor I has been getting the sleep we need, and we've all battled some congestion/sore throats, but not one of us has really fallen badly ill.
14. For the opportunity to reconnect with a couple of old friends this week via Facebook. I know FB can be a bit of a mixed blessing, but sometimes it's a real gift.
15. For the Lord's continued provision for our family. We're able to pay the bills this month again, always a "thank you." And thanks to extra work projects and some timely gifts from loving friends and ministry partners, we've been able to buy groceries for the past few weeks without resorting to credit and without huge levels of anxiety in the grocery store. I can't tell you how good that feels. Even better, the delight of relaxing and being able to give a bit more ourselves.

Sounds like it's been a great week! I'm glad to hear it! At the moment, I am feeling very grateful for Picasa, which is this picture-organizing program that Dad put on the computer that I'm using to finally get all of our thousands of pictures in order. The ones that have been scanned in; now there's a job I don't want to think about at the moment! Oh, and feeling very grateful my own computer is up and running again, and that my good friend Dan is coming to town on Friday. It's looking like a promising week here!
