I was in a store last week, and the Christmas carols were blaring. I am a lover of all things Christmas, and I never feel like it gets here too fast. But OHMYWORD. Can we just put the brakes on a little?
One of my neighbors has a tree up and lights on her house. Meanwhile, at our porch, there's a drippy pumpkin.
I've been enjoying reading all the Facebook posts and blogs about what people are thankful for.
We have a chalkboard wall in the kitchen, and every November, we list our 30 Day of Thankful.
We all take turns writing, and it's fun to look down the wall and see who's thankful for what.
So far, we are thankful for:
1. food
2. grace
3. churchy answers... This is the boy's. He wrote it in response to me telling him to stop giving me "churchy answers" when I ask him what he studied in Sunday School or Youth Group. I say,
"What did y'all talk about?"
He says,
"God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit."
He's a bit of a smarty pants, and I have no idea where he gets it from.
4. Elijah... That's mine. I had to remind myself to be thankful for the smarty pants.
5. soccer
6. Democracy
7. technology
8. Jack Bauer... We're still deep in the throes of "24," and the world needs a Jack Bauer. Or two.
9. lacrosse
10. family
11. Baba & Papa
12. Nana & Pops
13. Alabama football... Despite that sad sad loss to Texas A&M.
14. Krispy Kreme... Amen.
15.
I don't even know where to start on this. On my turn - the next day - I added
16.
I'm going to need lots of it, apparently.
