giving thanks

thankful for . . . giggles, kisses, pancakes for lunch, "ma ma" and "I love you" from my girls, mellow music, quiet, peek-a-boo games, cuddle time, lazy mornings, times spent with good friends, joy, fire in the fireplace, cozy blankets, my favorite black shirt, the smell of popcorn, the taste of sweet, rich hot chocolate on a chilly night, piles of leaves, authors who make you think, hope, the peace of God, family, new life, naps, a loving husband, creativity, my home, a listening ear, the Bible, my girls, comfy couches, a job I enjoy, grace, walks in autumn, and forgiveness. . .
