thankful

the walls in the house are bare and so are the bookshelves.  but i'm loving the new lower lights album, especially the song nearer, my God, to thee.  it's one of my favorites and they do it so well.  peaceful.  with a harmony i can sing along to.  also God be with you 'til we meet again.  that one restores sanity quicker than most for me.

tonight i'm grateful for a roof over my head and loving family who provide a secure fallback that i'll always be thankful for.  i'm thankful for peaceful music and chocolate.  i'm thankful for God and for prayer - that i can turn to him when i don't know what to do with myself.  i'm thankful that he knows better and that he has a plan.

and i'm thankful for a new week.  a new day, a new start.

it's a generous God who gives us infinite chances to take a deep breath...
and try again.
