18) ...this wonderfully cool weather, which helps me to feel less nauseous.
19) ...snuggling under smooth soft sheets when the air is a little chilly in the mornings.
20) ...my husband cooking dinner for us last night.
21) ...the precious little peanut growing inside me.
22) ...steamy cups of tea.
23) ...the beauty of watching my horses thunder across the field when I call them for feeding time. (If it's not feeding time, they know it and usually don't come running=)
24) ...all the great books that we have readily available to us. I used to read constantly and then when I got married, I read much less. Recently, since I've been laying around more, I've rediscovered my love of books. Last night I almost finished re-reading The Hiding Place. This time through I was stuck by the foundation that Betsie and Corrie had been given. Their whole lives were permeated with the love of the Bible and the study of it, with prayer and with caring for others. It was no sudden change when they were doing those things in the concentration camps! Corrie said she had never known a day that did not begin and end with family worship. So often I will read an amazing story and think, "I hope God would give me the grace to love Him and others in those kinds of circumstances." And it is only by His grace that it would be possible, but it's not something that we suddenly start doing once we are in difficulty. We need to live like that now! I want to give my children that kind of foundation. I want to have that kind of love myself. "Seek Me diligently and you will find Me."
25) ...for the way the rising sun lights up the trees.
26) ...and for Nate's 9 months with us! He is now calling me from his bed. =)
