Mon.-Met Makenzie's Mom at CCA after lunch today. Got some groceries. Came home for an hour or two. Went back to CCA. Practiced National Anthem. Went in carloads to the Hillcats game at the Lynchburg Stadium. 25 CCA kids sang the National Anthem. I held the mike and directed at the same time. A rousing cheer rang out when we were finished. Watched the game beside the Loys for awhile. Phil sat between Susan and I and we snuggled with him. Midway we got up and went to Sweet Frog and came home. ///I am thankful for Phil. I am thankful for the phone number in my purse. I am going to check into buying a Sweet Frog Franchise. I am thankful for the great family atmosphere at the game and that the stadium wasn't nearly as big as it looked online. I am thankful for the Hillcats Mascot who messed up Susan's hair, twice.
Tues.-Went to Appomattox to buy baby turkey supplies, Pig Roast supplies, and get my haircut. Ran around Farmville. ///Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. For those three things I am truly thankful.
Wed.-I am thankful for Kelli's and Susan's shrieks of laughter upstream from where I sat in my chair with my feet in the river. I am thankful for these two little girl's catching crayfish with pink plastic shoes in the shade of drooping trees at the river's edge. I am thankful for Lindsay's violin recital and her classy way of doing things in a natural way that makes everyone comfortable. I am thankful for Gil's kind prayers and words and care. I am thankful that God is merciful and God is good.
Thurs.-I am thankful for Sammy Jo's visit this morning. She told her Grandma Judy that 'Annette loves me bunches and to the moon!' She walked into our bedroom and saw the deer's head with upturned feet holding Phil's ties. "Is that a deer?" she asked. "Yes." "It's feet are on the wrong place." We painted together. She said, "I'm going to color a rainbow." I said, "That's a good idea." She said, "Thank you, Annette." Later, we went from painting paper to painting our faces and hands. I said, "I'm going to paint my veins blue." She said, "I'm going to paint my bleins blue too." Before long, she was swatting flies. "He's on the table again." SWAT! "He's a dead bug. I got him." I am thankful for Sammy Jo. I am thankful for Susan's, "What a nice way to wake up in the morning."(hearing Sammy Jo talking outside her door.)
Fri.-I am thankful for Judy's open home and the sewing fun Erin, Alli, Judy, and I experienced today. I am thankful for Alli's lilting laughter. There are few sounds more beautiful than her laugh. I am thankful for Susan's missions banquet and the delicious food and good company. I am thankful for the human video-"Worthy is the Lamb.
Sat.-I am thankful for time and energy to clean up the porches and outside today. I am thankful for Nanette and her wedding to Jim and their beautiful blended family. I am thankful for the time with Susan and Phil as we picked blackberries and watched "Knight and Day." I am thankful for the 4/10 inch of rain we got in that terrible storm.
Sun.-I am thankful for our church and that Jesus came to be with us especially today. I am thankful that stones can be thrown or be used to build monuments and that today, stones were used to build 'The Church' and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I am thankful that He came to save sinners of whom I am the chief. I am thankful for the wake up call 'Watch and Pray' and to hide God's Word in our hearts so that we won't sin against Him. My alarm needed resetting. I am thankful for Tom and Helen's family and the program they gave at Trinity tonight. I am thankful for another soaking rain.
