Today I’m thankful

that we made it through the cold snap and now it’s much warmer than last week. Do I sound like a broken record? Weather, weather, weather … . But it’s winter in the Yukon. What do you expect?
for all the times God has kept my family safe when we/they travel. We’ve done a whole lot of highway driving without any accidents. I won’t say we’ve travelled without incidents—empty gas tanks, engine failure, broken hitches, slides into snowy ditches, and more. But God has rescued us in every situation and kept us all safe. I’m also thankful that my son’s band will be flying instead of driving to their shows in Victoria later this month.
for a little bit individul time with each of my granddaughters today. I am so blessed to have all my grandchildren living close by.
for the prayer in Valley of Vision.

Right now I’m thankful

that I’m my illness is almost gone, and that my grandchildren are all better now, too.
that this week wasn’t as cold as predicted and that there’ll be warmer weather (or so they say) next week.
for the moon that’s been brightening my before bed dog walks.
for my trusty car. The colder it gets, the more thankful I am for it.
that God hears my prayers and that the Holy Spirit intercedes for me.

Not the actual golden retriever puppy from the walk this morning, but close.

This week I’ve been thankful for

noticeably longer days, especially in the evening. We’re gaining 5 minutes of daylight per day now and I’m thankful for every one of those minutes.
puppies. There are a couple of puppies I see regularly when I’m walking my son’s big, black German shepherd—and he loves them. He’s six years old, but he still loves running with puppies through the fresh snowy woods. I’m thankful that I can get my cute puppy fix with other peoples’ puppies, or I’d be tempted to get one of my own. And the last thing we need is another dog in the extended family.
for my grandchildren, all four of them. The baby is getting rolls of baby fat, and smiling and laughing. I’m thankful he is growing and developing. I’m thankful the older three are growing and learning, too.
for opportunities for my youngest son and a project that suits his talents. (And for the snow shovelling he’s doing right now as I write this.)
God’s promises, and Jesus Christ, in whom (and through whom) they all find their “Yes!”
