Small Mercies, Minute by Minute

I’m over at Out of the Ordinary this morning, encouraging you to think small.

Thankful Thursday

Right now I’m thankful 

• that I’m my illness is almost gone, and that my grandchildren are all better now, too. 
• that this week wasn’t as cold as predicted and that there’ll be warmer weather (or so they say) next week. 
• for the moon that’s been brightening my before bed dog walks.
• for my trusty car. The colder it gets, the more thankful I am for it.
• that God hears my prayers and that the Holy Spirit intercedes for me.

Also thankful today:

• Kim Shay
• Persis
