Thankful

In no particular order, I am thankful today ...

1. that sickness struck at daybreak, allowing us a full night's sleep
2. that Mommy and Daddy's sickness didn't coincide, allowing us each to help each other recover
3. that children sleep when they're sick and it helps them get better
4. for Tigger balloons
5. for Pedialyte
6. that at three years old, this is the first time Peter has ever had the stomach bug
7. for Sprite
8. for fresh bananas
9. for returning strength
10. for homemade chicken noodle soup
11. for hot showers
12. for warm blankets
13. for comfortable beds
14. for comfortable couches
15. that Matthew and Hannah have thus far been spared "the bug"
16. for the miracle of an evening's milk supply for my littlest one on a day when I had eaten one banana, five bites of soup, 1/4 cup of Sprite, and maybe one cup of water since 10:00 a.m.
17. for sunshine
18. for crockpots
19. for my Bible
20. for my husband
21. for the wonderful good health we so regularly enjoy

Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing,
in everything give thanks;
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
