Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful to be a grandmother again. My oldest daughter had a baby girl on Saturday. Little Amelia was born in Vancouver, so I haven’t seen her yet, but I’m thankful for her. I’m thankful that she is healthy and doing well. I’m thankful that I’ll be flying down to see her soon.

I’m still thankful for Natalie, granddaughter #1, who just got her first tooth. I’m thankful that she is healthy and happy and sociable. Today, she crawled a tiny bit before she fell over, so she’ll probably be getting around by herself before long. I’m thankful that she’s learning new things every day.

Grandmotherhood is a gift and calling for which I am thankful.

I’m thankful for other gifts, too.

  • Sunshine and warmer temps. It snowed yesterday, but it’s proper spring weather today.
  • The pond behind our house. It may be a mosquito factory, but the dogs love to cool off in it, and the birds love it, too.
  • That it will soon be time to plant the garden.
  • That the trees will have new leaves.
  • Strawberries in season.
  • God-breathed scripture. How would I know Jesus without it? 

What are you thankful for?
