A list of blessings...

While we were driving yesterday, I asked: “What can we say ‘Thank-you!’ for to God today?”

The following is Elizabeth’s spur-of-the-moment, spontaneous list – in this order:

• the Bible
• Jesus
• God
• praying

I misunderstood and thought she had said “playing” – so the next one was...

• playing

Then...

• soccer ball
• police cars
• stores
• stop signs
• red lights
• trucks
• houses

By this time, I suspected that the fact that we were driving was influencing the development of the list! So, I suggested: “What are some things that you can thank God for?”

• mouth [sounds like mouse]
• lips
• yards
• our spruce tree [in our yard]
  [She’s looking forward to putting Christmas lights on it!]
• trees
• windows
• toys
• Mommy and Daddy
• toys [again!]
• churches
• monkeys
  [There are two new ones at our house now, compliments of “los Abu”]
• octopus [a small hand puppet, courtesy of Publix Preschool Pals]

So much to be thankful for!
