We got the first real snow of the year last night, and it looks like it will stay, at least for a few days. I’m not thrilled, but the dogs love it, and it does give everything a pretty winter light. So I’m thankful for snow to make the dogs happy and snow to brighten things up. And I’m thankful for the beautiful, long fall we had.
Granddaughter Amelia and her mother spent the afternoon with me. They’ll get the new furnace in their house on October 17, but until then, they have no heat, so they came here to be warm. I’m thankful I can provide a warm place for them, and I’m thankful for little Amelia, who entertained us all afternoon with her squeals and giggles.
I’m thankful the dog’s foot seems to be healing. He cut it badly on Sunday afternoon right before our big Thanksgiving dinner. We had to delay everything while we stopped the bleeding and bandaged it up. He’s still hopping around on three legs, but the wound looks good. I’m thankful for the my daughter-in-law the nurse who helped us bandage him up.
I’m thankful for all God’s material provisions for me, but most of all, I’m thankful for the provision of salvation in Christ for me.
