Tuesday Ten

I thank God for:

1. Choosing us to be His children

2. Entrusting us with such children as ours

2. His assurance that: "it is the Lord who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." (Phil. 2:13)

3. Eating chocolate fondue as dinner

4. Our backyard firepit, and the soothing effect of watching flames

5. Listening to my children pray

6. That working out hard can make me feel so clear-headed

7. Red mulch, capable of reviving the most forlorn landscape

8. A newfound ability to shoot sports action photos -- stumbled upon in John's last game

9. Florida sunshine in May -- makes my skin feel alive the minute I step out the door

10. Seeing small things accomplished each day

11. My husband's prayers
