Well, it's been a challenging year, and before I knew it, November slipped right past me. But here we are on the last day of November, so I still have time to get in my 30 days of gratitude. Though the year has been filled with a lot of hard, the hard still held things to be thankful for.
This year I am thankful for: (in random order)
- A diverse class of students and families from several countries in Central America.
- A really great church with incredible leadership
- Dallas Baptist University
- My bike
- A fireplace to keep our house warm through the winter freeze
- A really good, caring cardiologist
- A chance to see and visit with all of our extended family this year
- Safe travels to and from Indiana
- A new life group on Saturday nights at a different campus
- A really great midweek small group that focuses on strengthening our marriages
- Morning walks
- Morning kitten snuggles
- A hot cup of decaf coffee
- Front porch Bible study
- Praying friends
- A close friend to ride bike with, meet for coffee, and pray with.
- Writing opportunities
- Bike trails surrounded by gorgeous wildflowers
- Juan's reconnection with a childhood friend
- Stepping Stones Church
- Seeing friends and family survive COVID
- Getting stronger after dealing with COVID complications
- Card games with David, even though I always lose
- Mike's job promotion earlier this year
- Friends who buy me new clothes just because
- Blueberries
- Coffee and lunch dates with friends
- Family pics
- An exercise bike for cold days and dark mornings
- Craft times with Mom
