Day 5

Today was absolutley beautiful and the sunshine was warm enough to make me forget the wind.  Jane Cannon still has the sniffles and I have the crud full fledged, but I got to spend the morning with her while Jonathan took the big kids to church.  It was nice to have some just us time.

Today and everyday I am thankful:

51. That God is unchanging and solid.  No matter how chaotic and crazy this world gets.  No matter who the president is, or who is in congress, or if nations rise or fall, he is constant and unchanging. I find immeasurable comfort knowing that my securinty is in him and not in this world. 

Deuteronomy 33:27. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. Psalm 90:2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Psalm 102:12, 24-27. But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.... I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

Psalm 33:11. The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Malachi 3:6. For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Hebrews 13:8. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. James 1:17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

52.  For getting to take a two hour nap. 

53. For Turner Classic Movies and memories I have sprawled out on my Grandparents livingroom floor watching old movies when I was a child.

54. Jane Cannon's nap nanny

55. For Holt's love of cowboy and western films

56.  That we have a couch long enough and deep enough Jonathan and I can both fit on it.

57. That Alabama beat Mississippi State last night

58. For nyquil

59. For Sundays and a day to worship with our church family

60. For Johnny Cash
