Thankful Thursday on Friday

So only my second week and I'm already a day late...go figure.

1. freedom to worship - we live in a great country especially as I read about the persecution of church around the world.
2. our founding fathers who where grounded in the truth as they established the USA
3. the beauty of fireworks
4. aunts and uncles
5. my sis (even if we can really get after each other still in our twenties): Happy Birthday!
6. windows and doors - going in at the new house this week
7. d's lack of headaches - what a praise to God! 
8. Sage's tooth
9. cell phones
10. grilled pizza
11. shade in this really hot weather
12. great music 
13. listening to my kiddos belt out tunes to memory when we've only heard it a few times
14. Ells' personality and all its sassiness
15. the eagerness and excitement for Shadd's birthday party
16. family time just the 5 of us
17. the beauty of a sunset

So much to be thankful for this week but lately I just can't imagine living in a different country where we don't have the freedom to worship, listen to christian music, go to church, read our bibles etc. What an awesome truth to remember that the men who established this country did so Under God. Praying that it will remain that way for years to come.
