I am thankful for . . .
- the two little boys who feel asleep on the couch this afternoon. I am thankful that I listened to my mothering instinct and just let them curl up on the couch. They look precious. It is always a gift to catch your children sleeping so sweetly, snuggled in safely under a parent's watch.
- our outing into the woods for our Nature Explorers lesson.
- talking with my friend, Tina, who was very patient as I continually interrupted her to spot a nest, roll a log back, or unhook the boys from thorns.
- It is an honor to be famous for a brief moment in time with an article published about what God has done in and through our family.
- Lord willing, I will be having some fun fondue tonight--though the sleeping boys are slightly cramping my housekeeping responsibilities right now.
- Praise God for giving people talent to create classical music. Beautiful music is wafting throughout our house along with the smell of a baked pumpkin.
- I finally washed my favorite brown hooded sweatshirt.
- Nemo is still alive.
- I actually woke up early (5:30 AM) and spent some time in the Word BEFORE the boys woke up. Precious. It fueled me for the day. I love the Psalms.
- My dishwasher may not work, but I have running water to wash my dishes by hand. (Is it wrong to pray that H.H. Gregg or some famous dishwasher company would give me a new dishwasher to review? Am I getting greedy?)
Please leave a thankful comment at these lovely ladies who are also blogging about thankfulness . . .
Are any of my flesh-in-blood, I can give you a hug, blogging friends thankful? I haven't heard from you . . . hint hint.

Mmmmm, fondue! I love fondue!
I just wrote some! http://sarah-proverbs226.blogspot.com/2009/11/thankfulness.html
Mmmm, mmm, music =)
Thanks for the reminder - just turned on some lovely harp concertos...
glad you washed that sweatshirt ;) (just kidding!) ... and on the dishwasher, I totally think it is ok to wish/hope/pray for a new one to be given to you for reviewing purposes! Our broke about a year ago - and I contacted the maker (Frigidaire) and shared my disappointment. I was hoping to just vent - but they gave me a 70% rebate even though I'd owned the d/w over a year (which was my biggest gripe because it wasn't even 2 years old). I didn't even have to get another Frigidaire - I got a new Kenmore! :) ANyway ... I read your article - how awesome!! And is your last name really GREEN?? - how appropriate :)
I am thankful that I got to enjoy that fondue and fellowship w/ you! It was amazing...the food, encouragement and fire.
I've said for years, God makes my children sleep so that I can look at their precious little faces and remember just how much I love them! (I usually remind myself of this on the hard days!)
