Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for/that: The wisdom of others. Another chance to get it right. Peace in the midst of the storm. Laughter.

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for/that: Homemade caramel apples drizzled with melted crunchy peanut butter. Sunshine. Freedom. Thoughtful friends. Toothless baby smiles. A good home cooked meal. Enough. What are you thankful for?

Evil in the Hearts of Men

Today we remember the evil that was done 9 years, we remember those who were taken from us, and we remember the heroism of those who rose to the challenge that day and every day since. Icarus II In the darkness I rise, long before the dawn I was dreaming of home and the life I led I can hear the sound, of the engines roar And I crave the embrace of my empty bed Where I'm safe (there I'm safe) But the call is clear, and the task is set And my enemies wait in the dark sky Do they fear the same fear, do they dream like us Do they long for the day when it's over And they're safe We are cruising above the horizon Never knowing if we will return In a moment we'll loose the destruction And we'll justify all that we burn Here the air is cold, but my thoughts are clear And so I'm wondering why I must be here For the evil that can come, from the heart of a man Must be answered in kind 'til it disappears And we're safe Now we're cruising above the horizon N

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for/that: The five minute nap I got today. Homemade bread fresh out of the oven. My over enthusiastic little kitchen helpers and their faux French accents. The reviving company of good friends. The gathering together of the saints (no not the football team!). Apple picking season. Those who continually rescue us from danger. The freedom to be a jerk and the wisdom not to be. Joy comes in the morning and the mourning. What are you thankful for?

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for that: The thoughtful young lady who stopped in the Sam's Club parking lot to pick up Caspian's blanket and her momma who said, good job now help her put her stuff in the car. She had the cart half empty before I was done strapping the kids in. The kids had fun on the cruise. Apple picking season. Caramel apples. The State Fair. All kinds of fun to be had there. Catching up with old friends are realising how much you still have in common. Wise council. What are you thankful for?
