In other news... I'm also very thankful that Christmas trees are on sale right now. After spending over an hour fluffing our pre-lit Christmas tree, I plugged it in to marvel at my work and 90% of the lights did not work. Some day I hope to drink hot cocoa and cut down our own Christmas tree. For now, the new pre-lit tree from Target looks beautiful in our living room.

I'm thankful for God's protection. The severe storms and tornadoes that hit our area today left no one seriously injured.
The image that I can't forget is one of a bus on its side next to a tree in a field. That bus had children in it when it landed in the field. Thank God the children and the driver had only minor injuries.
It could have been a lot worse.
Truly... something to be grateful for.
Please keep those whose homes were damaged in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm thankful for the days with no obligations.
A week-long battle with the flu was not on the agenda. I felt behind with so many everyday tasks.

Sanitizing my house was another.

I am thankful for my morning quiet time.
I purposely wake up before my babies do to make my "to do" list, do a load of laundry, check my email, put away dishes, chat with hubby, drink a hot cup of tea...

I'm especially thankful when God blesses my morning quiet time with a beautiful sunrise.

Today (and every day) should not go by without thanking the men and women who have served, are serving, and will serve for our country.
A special "thanks" to Kevin for telling me about this photo op at the local high school. Approximately 30 vehicles in the high school parking lot were proudly displaying our nation's flag.
It gave me chills.

Heart just dropped.
Forget about the beautiful weather.
I'm thankful that we made it home safely.
