It's been a month - 32 days since the Safe at Home order was first issued in Wisconsin and 44 days since school has been closed. It's about this time that we need to remember to count our blessings and look for all the things to be thankful for and I'm going to try to find 32:
1. It's been wonderful to be outside in the mornings with my beautiful Bella. She lights up my day!
2. Bailey and Jingle, the other two furry friends in our home also are a blessing.
3. Morning coffee
4. Peepers chirping each night and chickadees singing in the mornings
5. Good books - I just finished Becoming by Michelle Obama and Educated by Tara Westover
6. Praise and worship music (Rend Collective does socially distant worship every week)
7. Family time playing cards, board games, spike ball, etc
8. Baking and creating delicious beauty
9. Dusted off the espresso maker and finally figured out how to froth the milk
10. Old movies - Netflix and Amazon Prime
11. Wearing sweatpants all day long!
12. Warm enough weather to take out the boat
13. Family nearby to "visit" from a distance
14. Hiking new areas and reveling in God's gifts in nature
15. A full freezer with venison, corn, sausages, and berries.
16. Time to make healthy meals each night and have dinner together
17. Movie nights as a family
18. The spring - flowers, outdoor projects and the beauty of new growth
19. Connecting with friends and family on the phone regularly
20. Celebrating a birthday and a holiday together with joy.
21. Daily walks and workouts
22. Cody fishing all day long
23. Words and gifts of encouragement
24. A purpose and meaningful work
25. Bonfires, trampolines, and treehouses
26. Creativity in coloring or painting
27. Creating a good environment for us to live in, work in, study in
28. The Word of God sustains & uplifts
29. Prayer
30. God's Spirit - present giving peace
31. Barbeque dinners, waffles for breakfast and fresh strawberries
32. Thankful that we are healthy and well and that we have been given all that we need to make it through this crisis and thrive even in the midst of a challenge:
2 Peter 1:3
