Entry #17

#171 For new trash cans (I know that sounds silly and I won't explain it, but God knows!)...
#172 For the cedar chest now snuggled into the bay window near our dining table (another one that God understands...LOL!)
#173 For my pony, Breezy, who continues to give me wonderful rides during which I can fellowship with friends with whom I wouldn't otherwise spend time.
#174 For lunches out with my Mom--that she is fun to be with and still in good health at 82 years of age.
#175 That God has removed the extra weight from my body, lowered my blood pressure, and that I no longer fear keeling over from a heart attack...
#176 For the privilege of leading a Thin Within class at my church.
#177 For the joy that the ladies in my TW class give me. Oh! How I LOVE them so! Lord, don't you just love them so? :-)
#178 For Jordan, the dog we got at the shelter about 6 weeks ago...God has used him to help heal our hearts, we missed Samson and Bo so much...and still do, though Jordan helps so much. He is such a blessing!
#179 That I can nap with my arms around "psycho-dog" Daisy...she is crazy much of the time, but does a good imitation of a stuffed animal when I snooze with her and cuddle with her.
#180 For my mustang, Dodger's, huge try...
#181 For Harley, my Morab horse, and his incredible beauty and the joy he gives me.
#182 For Doc, my big baby (another horse) ...who has the most kissable nose on the planet! He is just so incredibly sweet, even though he is in such pain all the time.
#183 For a husband who loves you, Lord.
#184 For a family time last night of watching the movie, Amazing Grace, and even how it tied in with some of the things the kids have been learning about in our history class in homeschool! That was an unplanned blessing! (Thank you that Daniel CHOSE to join us!)
#185 For the privilege of participating in the writing of the Thin Within book with Judy and Dr. Arthur...I still shake my head at how atonishing that was...is...and the continued blessings that come from that.
#186 For the pre-release copy of "Raising Fit Kids in a Fat World" that Judy sent me! Oh, Lord! I can't wait to see what you DO with this! It is sooooo reflective of your wisdom, your fun-loving nature, and joy in your Children! Thank you for the privilege of letting me participate in that project as well.
#187 That my two teenagers still cuddle me, hold my hands, put their arms around me--even in public!!!
#188 For the privilege of homeschooling another year...
#189 For my retreat time with you, Lord, where you helped me to see YOUR priorities for my life...I have your peace as a result, even if there seems to be so much to do in the time I have.
#190 For a church that preaches and teaches your Word...thank you.
