Thank you, God, for
1. Today
2. Friends joining us for dinner
3. Bounty of food to share with friends
4. This time of year, and the memories of years past
5. The sanctifying circumstances in my life. They are tough, but without them, I would forget (more than I already do) how much I need Christ.
Merry (3 days before) Christmas!

Monday's Blessings
Today I am so very grateful for...
1. My husband, who knew I needed encouragement today, and left work early to be with me.
2. Peppermint mocha's. Actually, this is just misplaced gratitude for my husband, who brought me a peppermint mocha from Starbucks just 'cause.
3. My sister-in-law, D. She is the kind of sister-in-law I hope to be to my other dear sister-in-law, Y. Thank you for your gentleness, D!
4. Mom Chrisman. She is an encouraging, godly woman whom I admire greatly and hope to know better and better as the years pass.
5. Mom Warfield, who bore and raised me, and loves me anyway! Another encouraging, godly woman I hope to be better and better friends with through the coming years.

Daily Grace
God's grace was evident to me today in:
1. my husband who took me out to lunch just because
2. my church family
3. worship, prayer, and the rich, nurturing Word
4. Christmas plans, and people to share them with
5. warm clothes, warm car, warm house.

Grace in small things
God is so gracious to me. I know it in my head, I see evidence all around me, everyday. But in my heart, I struggle with discontentment. I forget. I ignore His grace. Do you ever do that? I think we are prone to forgetfullness...prone to selfishness.
So as a personal challenge to recognize Gods grace daily, I'm resolved to lists 5 evidences of His grace per day on this blog (inspired by this) until Christmas. And as a matter of fact...I'll begin right now!
I saw God's grace today in the small things...
1. Having enough money for the groceries I needed today.
2. Having enough money for the things I didn't need, but wanted.
3. My wonderful husband, and his buying me a peppermint mocha
4. Friends coming for dinner
5. Beautiful snow that delights my soul, and being able to keep warm despite it.
Ahh. There. Thank you Lord for all these blessings, and the ones I didn't list as well.
