Snow

Today I am thankful for snow.

There's something about watching the snow fall that refreshes my heart. I don't love it when it sticks to the ground....unless, of course, it sticks to the ground long enough for school to be canceled but not long enough for me to be stuck at home all day. Snow is just something really beautiful - even though it causes traffic accidents, and it's really cold and makes things muddy. When it's falling, it's beautiful, and I'm thankful for that beauty.

My Sister

Today I am thankful for my sister.

Susannah and I got to hang out a lot today. We watched Christmas movies, went shopping, created Lauren's Christmas gift, watched football and fell asleep talking through my relationship issues. I don't know what I'd do without her...

Meaning in Life

Today I am thankful for meaning in life.

I watched the Hogs almost lose to LSU today...they ended up winning after all, but the emotion wasn't there for me either way. I guess I've learned that there's more important things in life lately. I absolutely love reading my Bible these days, and I am in love with John Piper books. Those things have awakened me to things with which I was wasting my life, and I don't want to waste my life anymore. Life has meaning for me...and for that I am thankful.

Spud

Today I am thankful for Spud.

His nickname was created today by Mary Lottie (who has now adopted me as her best friend?!), and I love it. We have been friends for 30 days now, and it's been the most blessed friendship I've ever experienced.
