Every Columbus Day, which also happens to be Canadian Thanksgiving, my family and I begin a season of giving thanks. We celebrate in a lot of different ways; several of our traditions we have been doing since Emily was tiny.
But, no matter how we choose to act out our thanks, it seems to bring our hearts together, singing songs of His goodness.
Tonight, as I was sorting thru a few of my photos, I realized it has been a while since I’ve recited my own heart’s gratefulness. So, I thought I’d rehearse some of my best blessings, here… 
Another year of life to celebrate, more meaningful to me than years passed…
Anniversary tulips from the man who knows and loves me well…
Exploration and laughter with cousins, sometimes in tents
Little fingers and hearts and minds discovering God’s world.
New pursuits, new passions…
Painting buddies
The fruits of hard labor
Good friends worthy of adventure
kites that fly high
and last, but not least – these three, representing so much of His goodness in my life.
Thank you, LORD!!!
