Today I am thankful for many things.
I am thankful for my dear, beautiful mother, who kept me company while I worked into the wee hours of the morning on a nutrition project. It's peaceful to have someone dozing nearby, and comforting to know that there is a creature still alive at that dark hour, and the world is not quite so still and lonely as it seems. My mom is my confidant of secrets, my picture of hunger for Christ, the Mary to my Martha. She prods me forward, and helps me up when I fall, tests me, instructs me, loves me at my best and worst (that surely takes a rare person). I give thanks continually for her.
I'm thankful for the freedom and privilege to vote.
I am thankful for Fresh Market - that they play classical music, stock their beautiful store with exotic, beautiful foods, and serve hot cider at the door (oh happy day!).
And I am even thankful for this shockingly cold weather we are having (in NC? Inconceivable!), because besides frozen hands it also means cozy sweaters, hot spiced drinks, piles of blankets, and all things warm and delicious to keep the chill away. :)
"Praise the LORD! Oh, give the thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." - Psalm 106:1
