3 Gifts Hard to Give thanks for...

74.  we rush... and we have opportunity to worship and visit with Church family but I find it hard to leave dishes in the sink... bedrooms in disarray and bits to pick up here and there... sometimes I make us late with cleaning tendencies... but we can worship!

75.  we celebrate... we are provided with beautiful food and napkins adorn the table... but to soil such a pretty thing... I find it hard to waste the napkin, perfect and decorating... the kids have no trouble with this.

76.  we eat... we appreciate appetite because it is a sign of health... but the 'almost man' grumbles... he has hunger and he needs to lash out at someone... it's not coming fast enough, easy enough... we school him, educate him that behavior must improve or he's outside, show some respect... but we give thanks for the gift of him and his appetite, his health.

77.  Family getting together...

78.  Cousins becoming re-acquainted

79.  fine, quiet mornings with a few minutes to slide
