16. For my parents, who gave me life, cared for me, brought me into adulthood, and with whom I have a loving relationship. Their aging pains me. But I am so grateful for their examples of hard work and integrity.
17. For my in-laws, who gave my husband life, and gave him a religious foundation. They are still married nearly 54 years later. I'm especially grateful to the Lord for extending the life of my father-in-law, whose health is fragile right now. I'm grateful for every day we have with him.
18. For the rain yesterday and today. Much needed!
19. For computers (I think). It's a love-hate relationship. (Can't locate some files that I know are there. It's enough to almost convince me I've lost my mind.) But computers have helped me / us so much. They're tools, for which I'm cautiously grateful.
20. For daughters who help me with computer problems. If it wasn't for my two dear daughters, I'd just give up my hands and throw up. They help keep me sane.
21. For the honor of being able to home educate our children. Hard work, but the Lord helps. (Thank you, dear Father.) And now that most of them are teens and older, we are seeing the precious fruit of our labors - children who have a Biblical worldview, who have clear countenances because their hearts are clean before the Lord, who have a desire to serve God and others. I could go on and on, but then that would sound like bragging. ("It ain't braggin' if it's true!")
From a full heart,
Hester
