Gratitude

Because I often lose sight of my reasons for thanksgiving...a visual list.

For baby roars flying around corners from a little who has found another piece of his voice, found another clue to his place

For small hands wrapped around weed flowers, presenting them with such pride to mama

For off key voices shouting loud in song to God for right teaching

For leader husband willing to go down on knees to comfort babies, scrub floors and teach classes full of waiting eyes that God is power and powerful.

For full and new and enough mercy each morning -- to conquer the battles that lay waiting in shadows. New each day so none has to be stored, none saved for "what-ifs" and "in-case".
