Thankful Thursday

"The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!" ~Henry Ward Beecher

Today I'm thankful for:  

1. the lovely women I get to hang out with during Moms Group Bible study every Thursday morning.  I learn so much from them each week.  They challenge and inspire me to live my life to the fullest.
2. the opportunity I had to learn to read music when I was a child.  It is a skill that has served me well.
3. good conversation with my girls.
4. encouraging words spoken by a friend who knows me well.
5. my birdfeeder and all of the feathered friends who come to visit.
6. all of those who have helped my kids to develop their musical talents.  So amazing to watch my girls perform this evening in the district honor band and orchestra concert.
7. cereal for dinner.
