Reasons to thank God year round

my husband who is perfect for me
my family (including in-laws)
our three pets who make for a full house
my friends who accept me as I am
a home (even if it’s a rental)
health despite hormonal imbalances
jobs my husband and I both like
time to write, a luxury not everyone has
a car which keeps on starting
more books than my husband or I will ever read
opportunities or challenges, whichever you call them
memories (often in the form of photos and journals)
AND
holidays 🙂

That’s my week. What about yours?

I too have many reasons to thanks God year round, including:
– my wife, who like Andy for you, is perfect for me
– my family, including my in-laws from my first marriage
– our pets, currently two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
– good neighbours and friends
– a home, which my wife is continually improving
– good health
– lots to do in my retirement (and my wife’s having two part-time jobs which she likes)
– time to read and write, both activities which I enjoy
– my wife’s having a new car (with our children’s having her old car)
– a good personal library
– opportunities to minister, currently a blog and a small group
– good memories
Yes, Allison, my list is modeled on yours except that I’ve omitted “holidays,” my life as a retiree sometimes seeming to be like a continual holiday. Both of us have a lot to thanks God for.

I’ve had the usual kind of week really – work, work, grocery shopping, marking books, work, chores in the house, work… It’s been good though. 🙂

This was a less usual week for me. Our school district blessed us with a four-day weekend.

My mother-in-law’s birthday is on Thanksgiving. This year for the first time, we celebrated her birthday on Thursday. For our family then, Thanksgiving is today. Food is just preparing prepared. 🙂

Summer Reviews

Books can take connect us with strangers, take us to unique places, and introduce us to new ideas. They can also offer hope in a chaotic world. And so I must share what I read!

Each week, I’ll introduce you to religious books, Advanced Reader Copies, animal books, or diversity books. Some I’ll review as singles and others as part of round-ups. Just ahead, there will be reviews of:

Joni: The unforgettable story of a young woman’s struggle against quadriplegia & depression by Joni Eareckson
The True Story of the World’s Most Beloved Animal Sanctuary by Samantha Glen
Brothers in hope : the story of the Lost Boys of Sudan–refugees by Mary Williams
