Things I am thankful for...

~ Neighborhood walks with Greta in the dark, quiet, early morning. How peaceful it is to walk past all the cozy cottages with Christmas lights still glowing outside and the tree lit in expectation.

~ Worship and prayer time with friends in our living room last night...to put my heart back in the place where it needs to be right now...

~ The Christmas channel on Sirius radio that I'm playing through the TV, and especially "The Christmas Song"..."Chestnuts roasting on an open fiiiire..."

~ My sweet friend, Jennifer asked me to take Christmas photos of her and her doggie last week...

~ A bundle of Christmas branches and leaves that I got at Central Market for $5. One vase of them is sitting atop the armoire and the other on our kitchen table.
