I've had so much going on and I've let blogging fall by the wayside.
But I didn't want to let this year end without putting up my 100 Things.
I like that I make this list every year and I think it's good for us to all spend a little time being grateful.
Circumstances of the day affect my list because it varies as to what is on my mind. Today there was a school shooting, in an elementary school in Connecticut. It has so many of us reeling...and I can't even imagine what is happening to the families involved. I pray for their comfort.
I might not get the list done today (Friday 12/14)...It usually takes me a few days. But I want to remember what I am grateful for at this time.
I'm thankful for:
1 My children

Your list is awesome. I was going to ask you how Frank was feeling when we talked but I forgot. I'm so glad he's well too! My kids still pray for him at dinner time.
