Sunday Gratitude – May the 4th be with you!

I need to get back into the habit of writing these! I do miss them, and I do think they are good for the soul.

This may sound corny or preachy or what have you, but I’m grateful to God for his Love and the sacrifice He made to save us. Pascha, all in all, was a beautiful (though exhausting) experience, but it’s justified in commemoration of truly astounding events.

I am extremely grateful that the high-risk pregnancy of a friend is over, and both mom and baby boy seem to be doing well.

I am thankful for friendships, and the life-sustaining place they have in a person’s life.

I am grateful for the opportunity to see someone again whom I care about deeply, even when the last time I saw this person, there was a good amount of anger and negativity involved. Enough time has passed that it was a good meeting, even when what precipitated the encounter was something quite terrible.

I am grateful for good music, and for people to make beautiful music with.

I am grateful for the friends who pick up the phone when I really, really need them to hear me.

I’m grateful that my youngest three kids seem to be all about biking this spring. I enjoy it too, and last year, my bike sat in the garage the entire year. This year, we’ve already been out a couple of times.

I’m grateful for hand-me-downs.

I’m grateful for conversations with friends who just happen to be outside because the weather is nice, and there are projects that need to get done.

I am grateful for the people who have stood behind me even when things get tough.

Thank you all for reading, praying, and all that you do!
