Month of Thanksgiving: Week 1

I'm jumping on the great idea of so many others and am making a point each day to focus on something I am thankful for. Here are the first seven!

Friday 1st: Made it through October without snow!

• When we moved to Moscow, I knew I would have to deal with snow - excuse me, OODLES of snow. Growing up in Salem, OR I never had the opportunity to drive in snow because the city usually shut down. So today I am thankful that I was able to avoid driving in snow through October. Though the weather forecast is predicting snow the first week of November... :/  

Saturday 2nd: Spending Saturday at home 

• I normally work weekends, so having a Saturday to relax at home, catch up on some household chores and spend time with Matt was a blessing.

Sunday 3rd: Free flu shot 

• Flu season is here! I'm thankful that my work values their employees' (and residents') health by providing flu shots. 

Monday 4th: My loving hubby Matt! 

• He made me breakfast and coffee this morning so I could sleep in <3

Tuesday 5th: Care Group 

• I am thankful for having a group of people who are seeking the Lord and encourage me to do the same. 

Wednesday 6th: Opportunity to work with Middle School Youth 

• I recently started working with MS youth as a leader and I already know I'm going to learn so much. It's amazing to see God through their eyes and hearts. 

Thursday 7th: New Girl (TV show) 

• This show makes Matt and I laugh until we cry. It was a great way for us to spend time together after a rough few weeks of exams and finals. 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever. 

Psalm 136:1-3
