A few things to be Thankful for


  • A cozy wood stove.
  • The funny foggy weather.
  • The boys that get to go out and help cut wood.
  • The one boy who "plashes" water all over the kitchen as he helped me do dishes.
  • A warm cozy dry basement to dry things in because my dryer isn't working.
  • Grandparent near by to come play checkers with the boys when our spirits are dragging.
  • The chance to talk about gluten free options and other important things with a few good souls.
  • Hearing that someone is giving us a chance to try a new grinder for rice and the like for learning to bake gluten free. Humbled.  And very thankful. 
  • A good mop to mop up ALL THIS MUD!!!
  • Friends and Family.  
  • The clean smell of laundry and wood smoke and coffee.
  • And the good latte I made for myself this evening.  
  •   Thanks all of you for caring and praying.  I know you're out there.....  Thank you!

Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected.

Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time.
