Gratitude List (#143-170)

the country within driving distance
freshly picked apples and homemade applesauce 
Num Num and Papa and Auntie Tricia and Lucy
special dinners all together
that Jessie doesn't "bolt" anymore! 
tickles and smiles and puppy dog licks
children playing together without fighting
dress-ups and creative play
 old barns
shooting bb guns with papa and daddy
snow peaked mountains in the distance
clouds racing across the sky
 that Papa's surgery was successful! and that he is not hurting any more
new "old" furniture for our new house
space to spread out
new friends
 snail mail and e-mail
THE RAIN and THE COOL AIR!!
a cul-da-sack to ride bikes in
my afternoon cup of coffee
 a good start to a new school year and the addition of a "school-room"
new rain boots from Num Num
inspiration from other bloggers
texting with my sister-in-law
big windows that let in so much light
the crisp, cool feeling of Fall
God's forgiveness
new days with no mistakes in them 

"One generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
and I will declare your greatness.
They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness."
Psalm 145 4-7
