thankful

it is 6 pm on a thursday evening.   and it just rained.  wow, that is nice...it cooled things off beautifully.  we've had dinner, showers, the house is picked up, the chairs have been put around, the couch pushed back....and now, i am just listening to worship and relaxing by a fan on the couch.  we love thursdays.  kind of like we love sundays.  we look forward to see how many people Jesus will bring to our house each thursday.  school started and i know that is good and bad for attendance...kids adjusting back to school hours, but also around their friends who they will invite.  so good and bad.  did i mention that we just got an amazing rain shower that totally cooled off my house?  we love thursdays:)

This is what I'm listening to right now:)

oh, and it is cool enough that i actually lit a candle...my house smells nice...ready for fall, but think i still have a wait before me:)

praying our home is a place of refuge and hope for young people...somewhere safe and people they can trust...who point them to a Jesus who will never let them down...
