Beth, age 5
~ Mommy
~ Daddy
~ Paul
~ Miss Nancy, silly-with-me rheumatology nurse practitioner
~ Shelly from speech
~ Bea from physical therapy
~ Nancy from physical therapy front desk
~ my dolls
~ my stuffed animals
~ Pooh Bear
~ PBSKIDS.com computer exercise Curious George
Mary, age 7
~ Mom & Dad
~ brothers and sister
~ money for AWANA program
~ paper to make stuff
~ warm coats
~ house to keep me warm (This is the coldest winter we've experienced.)
~ crayons to color with
~ school so I can learn what I need to know for growing up
Paul, age 10
~ family
~ friends
~ relatives
~ doctors
~ AWANA leaders and friends
~ computer
~ washer and dryer
~ table and chairs
~ the mind
~ schooling
Peter, age 12
~ Mom & Dad
~ AWANA leaders
~ Paul
~ Beth and Mary
~ my bed ("I always write bed first, Mommy. I am really thankful for my bed.")
~ my neighborhood friends
~ going fishing
~ table and chairs
~ doors and locks
~ soap
~ bathtub
~ pets
~ pencils and art supplies and clay
~ clothes and radio
Mommy, age (too old)
~ wild flowers and morning glories climbing on our fences and trellises
~ sunshine shining dappled light through the maple tree and into the dining room
~ new snow catching the sunlight
~ cardinals landing on snow-heavy tree branches
~ lake and mountain scenes with wild flowers in the forefront
~ blue sky reflections on lakes, surrounded by summer green in all its glory
~ the Lord, the God of all mankind, who says, "Is anything too hard for me?"
~ my husband, who visited his father in Florida for four long days, suffering a very cranky old man of 91 who pours out no love, but on whom my husband showered love and patience, because God asked him to. We are not sure of father-in-law's salvation status because he relies too much on the law of the Ten Commandments, versus New Testament grace. Is he trusting himself for his salvation, we have to wonder? It was the hardest four days of my husband's life and I am so proud of him for seeing it through, regardless of the outcome (which only the Lord knows).
What are you thankful for, my friends?

Lovely lists from your children. So sweet!
I am thankful that my husband's income has increased because this means we are not only able to go house-hunting, but we are now looking for a cleaner (I can't manage all the housework because of my health at the moment).
