Thankful...

Today was a day I appreciated the sweet encouragement and peptalk from my dear friend who is light years ahead of me in her understanding of homeschooling, grace, and patience.  She is remarkable and truly a beautiful living testimony of what it means to love and follow Christ.  She has a calm and joyful element that is totally the light of Him which radiates through her smile and gentle words of encouragement and support.  It is not uncommon for me to find an email she has sent saying she has prayed for me that day, along with a prayer or Scripture included.  Today she patiently and gently kept me focused on what I am striving to achieve.  Thank you Lord for this sweet dear friend!

Speaking of other things I am thankful for...
  • God's grace & sovereign plan
  • my husband's continual patience with me when I cry because my heart is broken
  • friendships that will last beyond the "here and now"
  • my mom, who I still very much need and appreciate
  • the simple and delicate flower arrangement cut and prepared by my mother-in-love sitting on the coffee table
