Thankful for a Few of My Favorite Things

Thanksgiving Day:
Thank You, Lord, for some of my favorite things--
Brad, Ben, Mindy May, Jamie, Moira, Evie
Getting to teach teenagers--for a living no less 
All teaching moments
Those times when the Spirit takes a passage you've read "a million times"--even taught it--and shows you a beautiful truth you've overlooked every time.
A walk in a misty rain
Stars and lightning bugs competing for the applause
Thunderstorms--sometimes competing with the lightning bugs as well
Lectures in Catonese
Cardinal baseball--baseball
Good reads--Gilead by Robinson, Scarlet Letter by Hawthorn, My Name is Asher Lev by Potok
Good poetry anthologies--Leavings by Berry, Why I Wake Early by Oliver
Breakfast for supper
My Gardening Angels giving me another surprise
Manual labor outside
Quiet, solitude, calm
The old hymns
Bird watching--though I think they may be watching me?
Sitting in the dark watching a snowfall paint the world white
Meditating on the Word
Each day
