Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Friends! Here is the girls and my thankful lists for 2010...

Kiki:

1. Snow! Lots and lots of snow and cold weather!

2. Daddy and Momma

3. Thanksgiving!

4. The Lord Jesus, who loves me and died on the cross to wash my sins away.

5. That momma painted the house, it looks so nice now.

6. Warm clothes

7. Lasagna!

8. Being able to play all the time.

9. Inchimals!

10. Science Projects.

Debris:

1. Snow! I love snow.

2. That we get to go to Uncle D. and Aunt G.'s house every Sunday.

3. Kitty's and Dogs.

4. That I'm having a great day.

5. Lights. Lot's of lights, not just one little lamp like Laura and Mary. (Ingalls)

6. Chairs. It'd be annoying to sit on the floor all the time. And the Couch for snuggling.

7. Blankets for snuggling.
8. Ice Cream. I love Ice Cream!

9. Food to eat.

10. My handwriting book. I love that book.

And, my list:

1. Jesus Christ. My hope and Strength. I am saved from sin and death... but even better and more amazing than that, I am saved TO glory. What an incredible gift.

2. My husband. He is the winch to my stuck Rover. It's amazing how well suited we are to each other. I love the fact that God could look at us 10 years ago, and see what each of us would need in a partner 10 years from then. It's also lovely when you can look at your marriage, and know that the work you put into it is worth the reward.

3. My children, my sweetness, my comfort and joy.

4. Every day is a new day... this is truly a gift. Every day we wake up, and we can choose to be a better wife, a better mother, a better housekeeper, a better Christian (or whatever particular title applies) that day. How neat is that?!

5. Family--my amazing parents, and my siblings+spouses--siblings by the same parents, and siblings of the heart.

6. Friends--blogging friends, and IRL friends. :-) Each one means SO very much to me. Your sweet comments and encouragement brighten my days more than I can say.

7. Four distinct seasons. I love each one, and I love that they only last about 3 months... I'm always ready for the next one when it comes along.

8. My new boots. High quality clothing that fits well. High quality outdoor gear. (I smell another post coming along! Ha!) My Rovey--currently I am loving the heated windshield. :-)

9. A Summer of Amazing Adventure... the anticipation and planning for next summer.
10. Homeschooling. Delight directed learning. The opportunity for my children to go faster than 28 other children in some things that they love and excel at, and if needed, we can go a bit slower for things that are challenging.

I hope your Thanksgiving day treats you well!
