Thankful Thursday

It's the end of October, can you believe it? Our trees are beginning to change color and the weather has been lovely. Today I want to stop and take a moment to reflect on some of the things I have to be thankful for the last several weeks.

• Husband is back to work, although he was able to get quite a lot accomplished during the time he was home, he was very glad to get back to work.
• Young son has found employment at a small bike shop where he lives. Biking is something he enjoys doing, so this job is a great fit and he will be able to continue to "gig" on the side.
• Release from GI doctor, things have been stable, no longer need MRI's every six months...happy dance
• Still getting peppers and tomatoes from the garden...we are just about done, will probably pick the last of the peppers this week.
• 
  
  
  
  
• Weekly phones calls from my sister
• I say this all the time, but I can't over emphasis how thankful I am for my church and pastors and how the Word of God is faithfully preached every Sunday. We are just finishing up the book of Ephesians, don't you love how God can show you something different every time you read his Word, even though it may be a familiar book or passage. His Word is always fresh, always relevant.
• Thankful that the car we thought  might need a fuel pump, only needed an inspection
• Thankful for "Grandma Days" I had to miss a couple last month, makes me all the more thankful for them
• 
  
  
  
  
• Thankful that we are included in the other activities the children have, I have gotten to go to soccer games and a pep rally
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
   Pansies and chrysanthemums
• 
  
  
  
  
• Today marks the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month, and it is the month that I celebrate three years of being cancer free...thankful!
