Philippians 4:6-7
"do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
through prayer and petition in thanksgiving present your requests to God.
And the peace of God that transcends all understanding
will guide your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus."
Counting ways of gratitude in:
the lingering love and memories of a thanksgiving just spent with
my favorite people to holiday with
the budding and (God) direction of our own little family traditions,
12 years in the making
a Christmas wrapped and sealed before Dec. 1st
an almost no school month ahead
a calendar sprinkled with winter fun ~ of plans we've never had time for in past years
whispers turned bold
in need from our fully blessed family, immediate and extended (praise God)
an angry cat with a long lost anxious twin,
and the laughter incomparable to any I've heard
my little man's sweet love words
"you're too cute for comfort...
so cute I can't stand it...
get over here and give me some louvin' mea-mea..."
for church out - to Church inside

and whoever else so thoroughly obeys His commission.
constantly changing me.
the immeasurable security in trusting Father
lights and Light
our blue blanket
ticking time to remind that time is ticking
dream theater's a change of seasons
the library and their incredible online ordering system
the Christmas tree branches, laid natural and filling with
his toys and our jesse tree ornaments each day
Finally a simple, peaceful, quiet december to face God
and await the Jesus who then came and is coming again!
