Today I want to be thankful for books. They enrich our lives with knowledge and entertainment.

One thing that can make your heart skip a beat is to see your 8-year-old running to hug your 2-year-old. Such beauty. Recently our oldest daughter stayed a few days at her Grandma’s place and when she came home she made a beeline for her youngest sister, she was just so glad to see her!

Recently, after being in the public spotlight I received numerous compliments. Although others helped and supported me and the Lord gave the direction, it sure feels good to get a compliment and I want to hand them out liberally to others.

Thank You Lord for the sunshine today. It has been mostly cloudy for a few weeks but now we have beautiful clear skies.

Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.

Sometimes when I feel down and question whether God cares for me I have asked my children “Does Jesus love Daddy?” I have always gotten the response of a very positive “Yes!”

We have a cute 2-year-old with a heart of gold. When she sees someone crying she, without prompting, goes to give the hurting person a hug. I am amazed many times at the compassion of children.

Thank You Lord that I can begin again each day. The failures are in the past and today is a new happy beginning to a story.

Thank You Lord for the wisdom and instruction our elders share. They have so much history and experience.

Thank You Lord for the people in my life who are eccentric. They make me laugh and enrich my experience of life.

Thank You Lord that we can enjoy music and create it. Music speaks and gives insight into one’s soul.

Thank You Lord for the talents You created in me. So often I envy the talents of others and down myself but You knew what You wanted when You created me.

Thank you teachers for doing a great job! Both on me and for my children! Your efforts are underrated.

I am thankful today for courage. Courage for today; and each day I find courage even when it is hard to believe the sun will shine again.

One big thing I am thankful for is the ability to laugh. At times I have felt so sad that I doubt I will ever laugh again but, amazingly, it always comes back.
