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

the obedience blessing of a free jesse tree advent book and ornaments,
followed with more obedience, followed with more blessings

a "Christmas Change"... this season filled with gifts of love given to those 

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 

ann 

dolly

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!
