41. Cooler weather. The summer was nice, but there's something invigorating about the crisp September air! I also like the shorter days. Our household tries to pack so much activity into our days, and the longer summer days tempt us to stay up way to late. We tend to get more sleep during the fall and winter because we go to bed earlier!
42. The rain that brought the cooler weather. Seems like this year the LORD has spread out the rains more evenly, and for that I am grateful.
43. A rained-out church picnic that moved to our home. We had a lot of cozy fun with a bunch of people we love!
44. The graces measured out to us daily in the form of extra time with people whose lives hang by threads.
45. For my mother-in-law, whose birthday was yesterday. Happy Birthday, Mom! Hopefully we're going to be at her house later today helping her celebrate in a lonely house, since Dad is in rehab hospital for the next couple of weeks.
46. Spiritual warfare that drives us to our knees before the throne of grace. Protection from the Lord during those times of intense battle with the powers of darkness.
47. The wisdom given by the Father through His Spirit when requested.
48. The tender words of endearment from family members at unexpected times. "I love you, Mommy!" from my youngest son, hanging out the car window as he drives off with his Daddy.
49. The enthusiasm of my youngest daughter (a creative soul) as she plans a costume to go along with our medieval unit study.
50. The enthusiasm of my youngest daughter (the social butterfly!) as she plans our fall calendar hospitality.
Awww! Do I hafta quit now? There are SOOOOO many things for which to be grateful! Thank you, Lord!
Your daughter,
Hester
