January thanks

Walk in the light, the beautiful light.

Come where the dewdrops of mercy shine bright.

Shine all around us by day and by night.

Jesus, the light of the world.

- from Common Prayer, a Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals

Still counting...

•  a nice easing back into school
•  students being brave and letting go
•  Levi giggles
•  car starter gift, the warmth it provides!
•  a husband who does dishes, laundry, diapers, cooking and anything else; cheerily, no less
•  common prayer; the early mornings and late nights
•  a first tooth and a sitting up baby
•  banging the piano with Papa
•  mild winter days
•  Katie and Matt's birthday party, lots of new "family" to meet
•  morning chai 
•  Kimmie time - before we send her off to Rwanda...and of course a new blog to keep up.
• Papa, putting down the Russian novel, to read something a *little* less sophisticated...

(Dare to find joy? Join the thanks counting...)
