No, this is not me though I wish it was... the streets where I live are not as beautifully treed. I really like this image, though, because this is what I do on winter evenings... I go out by myself for a walk in the cold.Pondering His Goodness while out this evening and Thanking Him:
65. For the awesome expanse of starry skies above.
66. For the clearness of the Big Dipper.
67. For icy cheeks.
68. For the feel of fresh cold air in my lungs.
69. For the ability to take deep breaths.
70. For health that allows my to be out walking on nights like this.
71. For the bright colored Christmas lights that light up the neighborhood.
72. For the glow through the windows of trees lit within.
73. For people who leave the blinds open while they gather
around the table to eat so that I, who am walking by, can see
the beauty and loveliness of "family".
74. For the warm coat that my dear man bought me last winter which withstands temperatures of 40 below quite tolerably well.
75. For the delight that my children show me when I come back
into the house after only twenty minutes of being gone.
"Mommy, you're home! I missed you, Mom!"
76. For the warmth pouring from our fireplace that warms me when I come in.
77. And for the warmth of loved ones surrounding me.
78. For my DH who so generously tucks the boys into bed each evening.
79. And that he takes the time to pray with them and talk with them before turning out the light.
80. For a nice slow Saturday of being home... together as a family.
