New Mercies I See

Today, I'm thankful for:

- Hymn lyrics that God brings to my mind, when I most need encouragement

- Startlingly-Delicious Lentil Soup (Compliments of Progresso, and a coupon)

- That our thermostat (clock) is directly across the hall from my bathroom

- That most of our shelves are not wire, because wire shelves thwart all balancing
- Kind neighbors who give me rides, and enable Husband and I to share one vehicle

- Our easy, fool-proof salmon recipe

- Having a piano

- Rain pants, and rain coats, and umbrellas

- Solid theology

- Fun, new vocabulary words

- My mom, and her wisdom

- Tentative travel plans

- Our Christmas tree (yes, it's still up - it improves our living room lighting immensely)

- That moment when the sun presses thru the dark clouds, and lifts the moody fog away
