~ my husband’s new garage organizer. He got tired of my moan every time he mentioned spending $150 on a garage organizer, so he clammed up and waited patiently for his birthday. Have I mentioned what a smart guy my hubby is?

~ hummingbirds fluttering around the feeder. Sheesh, our back yard has turned into a hummingbird highway. Yesterday morning, one little guy actually buzzed right in front of my face and stared at me. 

~ participating with a thousand voices and faces lifted in worship. A glimpse into heaven’s choirs?


~ seeing the delight-and fear-on my grandson’s face as he takes his first steps


~ a quiet house, no sounds except our golden’s soft snuffle and my fingertips clacking across the keyboard. 



~ school buses hitting the streets. Yeah, I know. Call me crazy. But, really, don’t you like to see the drivers zipping around the roads, testing the buses for safety before the kids take one step on board? 

What about you? 

What are your thanks givings today?
