Thankful Thursday

My youngest son is gone to Berlin for a couple of weeks. He left here on Monday and finally made it there Wednesday afternoon, Berlin time. He tells me he arrived tired but safe, and the traveling went well. I’m thankful for his email (He’s a guy; I never know how good he’ll be at keeping me informed.), and that he’s safe.

I’m taking care of his dog while he’s gone, and it was a beautiful day for a winter walk. He loved bouncing around in the snow and playing with the dogs we met. I’m thankful that everything was perfect for a joyful walk for each of us.

I’m thankful for bright sunshine coming through my windows. 

I’m thankful for the promise of the new heavens and new earth. The beauty that we see in our world now is just a little glimpse of the glory that will be when the whole creation is redeemed. I’m thankful that we can enjoy creation now and know that there is even better to come. 

What about you? What are you thankful for?
