thankful - 23

from a reader -

Things I am thankful for- Cinnamon-the fragrance warms a home. It is medicinal, a weight loss aid, and it tastes so good!  Always a reminder of simpler things, thoughts of home and family.

 
Holding a new baby, listening to the tiny grunts, the cries, smelling the sweet breath, envisioning a bright future; hope in a tiny perfect bundle.

 
Sailing on water;  deep sea fishing, whale watching, or cocktails with friends on the lake. How beautiful to feel the wind in your face, and warmth at your back.

 
Hot air balloons over California vineyards. Swooping down into the valley to grab a bunch of grapes then back up 500 feet. The pristine quiet aloft as you hear everything on the ground below.

 
A solid relationship with my grown children!  God has blessed us in pure joy!  We like traveling together, and meet twice a week to enjoy each others company. And they often bring their friends along.

 
Singing to someone; Happy Birthday, a lullaby, or a praise song to My Father.

 
Hands, all the hands that have served me in the big and the small things. Mother, Father, brother, doctor, nurse, lawyer, friend, wait staff, communion servers, cleaning, Christmas lights, lawn care, pastor, chef, police, fire, neighbors, Aunties, grandmother and husband, my husbands beautiful hands.
 
it' a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Oh boy, do I love what this person shared. Whomever you are, you are a real thinker. You are also probably someone I would love to learn about life from.

Be blessed for your "in touch" thanks giving. Glad you have gotten to enjoy some exhilarating experiences in life.
