Today I am thankful for vapor bath that is soothing Jackson’s croupy cough.

I am thankful for a wonderful husband who went to Meijer for me twice today with specific, extensive lists…the 2nd time to return the Christmas tree with colored lights for one with white lights.  He is amazing.

I am thankful for lots of helpers to put up the Christmas tree…and the boys who rather liked the box just as much.

I am thankful for gluten free potato soup and Dutch apple pie.

I am grateful that in the difficulties of everyday life God shows up and helps me through showing me that all is well.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.  1 Peter 5:10-11
