Thankful Thursday

My thankful list:

~ Perfect gardening weather.  I don't like the weeding, but it's worth it for the flowers and good exercise.  I'm so excited that I can start the mower by pulling the starter with one arm, too!

~ Three week-ends in a row with my daughter.  It's been a blessing to have this uninterrupted chunk of time.  My turn will come for her to be away, but there will be grace for that.

~ A small group where you don't want to leave even though it's late and you should go home to bed.

~ Getting a glimpse of the utter horribleness of human nature left to itself (Haman from Sunday's sermon on Esther) and seeing the redeeming power of the Gospel that saves wretches, worms, and blasphemers - myself included.  

O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
