234. Thoughtful responses to my blog posts
235. Not-so-pleasant responses to my blog posts - they make me think carefully about what I say and if I am willing to endure the comments that might follow
236. A half day to finish grades
237. Conversation with Steve that is so good it almost makes me late for work
238. Help with watering the horses when it is hard to get out to the barn
239. Watching Calli play some winter soccer with the neighbor boys who asked her to be part of their team!
240. Awesome neighbors who are just easy to be with - thanks Joe and Alissa!
241. Walking the dog to Samantha and Micah’s - it is great having church family close by!
242. Being able to help a friend when he is sick, by stepping into his shoes, even when it is last minute
243. A gracious church family that doesn’t mind me listening to me ramble, as a last minute sermon fill in
244. Talking to people about my sermon and hearing their perspective on what I said. It is always encouraging to know that God used me, somehow, to cause a person to think about some aspect of their own faith. I will never get tired of God using me in that way!
245. Greeting Colby from the airport after his month-long trip to China
246. Hearing that Colby really wants his sister at the airport and that Calli wants to change plans so she can be at the airport to see Colby. Knowing that your kids love each other and enjoy being with each other is the best gift a parent could have.
247. Listening to Colby’s stories and the enthusiasm in his voice
248. Having the ability to stay home from work with Calli when she is down and feeling sick
249. Antibiotics
250. Medical care, virtually on demand
251. Calli’s perseverance in school, despite being sick all month, being able to finish final despite feeling sick and finishing with A’s. I am blessed to have kids who care about doing their best with integrity.
252. Healthy disagreements that cause us to think, evaluate, process and sort out what we truly believe to be right and best. Even if the disagreements remain (without contentiousness), it is good to be forced to go through that process.
253. Dinner delivered accompanied by good friends
254. Piles of snow, even if it is coming almost two months late.
255. A shoveled driveway that I didn’t have to do!
