Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.
    Hide me in the shadow of your wings. – Psalm 17:8

I am grateful for a reminder this morning that I am in the shadow of His wing.

I am grateful for the sound and smell of steady rain.

I am grateful for these words: “Thank you.”  It doesn’t take much to say them, and sometimes they are taken for granted, but it is noticed when they are left out. Betty, Katherine, Ruth and Avis are always so good to say “thank you” after Bingo.

I am grateful for flashlights. What a handy thing to have, especially when the batteries are good.

I am grateful for big pajama pants, a sweatshirt, and extra soft socks from Delores to wear around the house. Comfortable is wonderful.

I am grateful for simple grilled chicken that is a perfect ending to a hungry day. Thank you, Sam, for having dinner ready when I got home from Bingo.

I am grateful for Sam, because he is sacrificing his eating habits with me for 24 days. It’s nice to have someone with whom to experience this.

And I am grateful for a good hair day on a rainy day.
