I’m thankful that oldest daughter and her family finally have a working furnace, and just in time, judging by the weather forecast. They’ve been spending most of the day at my house for the past week or so, even eating lunch and supper here, because their own house was breath-seeing cold except for one bedroom where they had a space heater. I’m thankful that my home could serve them, but I’m also thankful for a day to catch up on tasks put off until things were quiet again.
And I’m thankful that oldest daughter is such a good cook. Having her here to make supper each night while I played with the baby was a blessing!
I’m thankful that I’m ready for winter because it might be already here. I’m thankful for a dusting of snow and the promise of more to come over the next week. I’m thankful for an extraordinary fall after a mediocre summer.
I’m thankful that God is good and all-powerful, so he is worthy of my trust. I’m thankful I’ve seen his providential hand in so many things this past week.
