381. An entire week of beautiful, sunny days
382. An understanding, patient husband
383. A hard-working man
384. A huge opportunity to see God work in a really big way in our lives. We are asking Him for something bigger than we've ever asked Him for before. It seems impossible, but He dropped something in our laps when we weren't even looking for it. So, I'm just trusting in faith that He wants to do something for us..... We'll see.
385. Not being able to sleep because I can't stop thinking about our prayer request
386. Some days where I can function pretty well despite feeling so poorly
387. Being able to take care of a sick hubby yesterday afternoon (food poisoning, I think)

361. Having children who know the value of good, hard work
362. Neighbors willing to watch our dog for us again while we are away

365. Books, books, books
366. Bible reading schedules and little boys who are trying to catch up!

I am so thankful that my husband brings me back down to earth when I become emotional about something that won't matter 5 seconds from now. I LOVE that man!!
