I thank Thee for the temporal blessings of this world—
the refreshing air,
the light of the sun,
the food that renews strength,
the raiment that clothes,
the dwelling that shelters,
the sleep that gives rest...
the happy endearments of family, kindred, friends...
My cup runs over. Suffer me not to be insensible to these daily mercies.
- from Evening Praise, "The Valley of Vision"
Also thankful this week, for
- a first *real* snowfall of the year and a beautiful, restful snow day
- endurance and strength when the whole family's sick and the little one is painfully popping teeth
- daily mercies, reminders of grace
- skyping with Kimmie
- successful oatmeal feedings
- encouraging tutor dinners, smooth and healthy transitions
- a quick and relatively painless car repair
- kitty's undivided attention as soon as baby sleeps
- stay-in-our-pjs-all-day-fridays
- quiet
- tea, kleenex, excedrin
- how happy Levi is when his dad comes home
- football party with Mom and Dad J, and Uncle Roger (despite the fact they woke the baby with their winning cheers!)
- post bath mommy-baby snuggles..
