1. 2 cats that we prayed for even before we knew them
2. the town i live in. i do not take for granted the mossy oak trees, the college town environment, or being able to swim outside 6 months a year.
3. a neat home. i say this now as i look around, BUT, in two hours i should be thankful for the papers, shoes, and occasional rock scattered amongst our kitchen and great room because it means my kindergartner had another successful day at school.
4. the internet. i can have glimpses into my friends across the country lives in the middle of my day of playing dress up and taylor swift barbie with my two year-old. grown up moments are not to be underestimated!
5. bible verses that creep into your hands just at the moment you need them.
