oh so thankful.

There are so many things that we can be thankful for. That’s why I’m glad I finished my chalkboard door so that I could make my list for all to see… there are more things I’d like to add since leaving town last night.

I was reflecting on Sunday with my dear friend Bibka in Slovakia, of the perspective she gave me of thinking through things I was thankful for in the midst of a tough year. And now, though I am not in Slovakia, I am still faced with similar times of needing that same perspective – of thinking through the things that I am most thankful.

I thought I would make a list again to gain perspective once more. These are in no particular order!

sweet jer.

our small group (branch & misti are not pictured here, but we are thankful for them too!)  (and the completion of the mud run!)

There is so much to be thankful about this one, blue masons, aqua + red, fresh flowers (already noted above)
