So thankful

I'm a little behind... here is the catch-up!

I am THANKFUL for:

(Day 15) international friends. What a delight and joy it  is to receive surprise phone calls (and videos) and have contact with those a far! Thank you for calling! :)

(Day 16) the assembly here. The is no perfect place, but the assembly, the fellowship, is well worth it!

(Day 17) for the power of adoption. To give a forever family to a child without- what a true joy! :)

(Day 18) naps. It is amazing what a few minutes of a nap can do! :)

(Day 19) my grandparents. Both of my sets of grandparents have set a high standard for following after the things of God, for raising a family, and for giving of their hearts for His service.

(Day 20) a 2-day student week! While I love the students, I am thankful for a work day tomorrow and the Thanksgiving holiday weekend! :) (I am even taking the kids turkey cookies to celebrate!)
