"Grateful"

(by Art Garfunkel) Grateful - Across America



Since yesterday was the first day of school (hence there was an actual theme song), I'm a day late with my gratefulness post! I fully intend on continuing this every week at least until I reach one thousand. This week I am incredibly thankful for...
  1. A new school year
  2. The peacocks welcoming us back to school {I would love to have that kind of traffic jam every day!}
  3. My kids' teachers
  4. Cody's concern for his little Kindergarten friends {One was on the bus, & when he got off he had me call her mom to let her know she was OK. The other one wasn't on the bus, so he had me call & make sure she had been picked up!}
  5. My snuggly little friend Caleb
  6. His big sister Clara Belle
  7. Their parents {I'm tempted to write something here that THEY would think is hilarious, but everybody else would totally misinterpret. I'll refrain ~ but Jana, you totally know what I'd like to say!!}
  8. & their grandparents (who warm my heart! ♥)
  9. Moms in Touch
  10. Coffee with my friend Desiree
  11. Thoughtful "back-to-school" texts :)
  12. BBQ with friends {two days in a row!!}
  13. The IFI Program
  14. My super flexible part-time job
  15. Mad typing skills
  16. The funds to pre-buy "The Reckoning"
  17. Chapstick
  18. Gum
  19. Pens
  20. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
  21. Finding out that I made someone smile :)
  22. Snuggling with my kids when I wake them up in the morning
  23. Snuggling with my kids when I tuck them in at night
  24. Lunch with a new friend :)
  25. My little neighbor who greeted my by saying, "You're gorgeous!"


What are you thankful for today? {& if you know of any songs that would be good for my One Thousand Gifts posts, please let me know! I figure I'll need about 40 of them! & I could use some help, as evidenced by today's song. Great words, but I must say I like him better with Simon}

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
I Thessalonians 5:16-18

i've never tried the magic eraser but i think i should!
as simple as this post is, it was SO encouraging and challenging to me. i forget to be thankful for the small things in life (that sounds so incredibly cleche'!) and i need to be reminded of that. :)
