Did you know, dears, it's Thursday?
The day of the week when I take special note of the blessings that God has heaped on me... well, special note of some of the blessings I actually notice.
I'm thankful for...
Dates with my husband--we went out for Mexican on Monday!
Doughnuts--a treat he brought home today.
Dishes in the sink--we've eaten. We have food, we have plates to eat it on, we are provided for. And I'm thankful for the help my husband gives me with them!
Darkness--the time of day when we calm our minds and bodies, and rest in preparation for the next day.
Dedication--my husband is so evidently dedicated to me, to his work, to our future.
Daughterhood--I am so thankful for my parents and my parents-in-law. Such blessings!
Dad--my earthly father, and my heavenly Father. I have the best Daddy ever (for SO many reasons!), and it is only by His incredible grace that I can call God Father as well.
Dairy products--I love milk. And cheese (of all kinds), yogurt, ice cream... A friend brought us cheese from Wisconsin yesterday, and I appreciate it so much!
What about you? What are you thankful for today--and can you think of something that begins with "D"?

Wonderful D words, doughnuts made my mouth water, sad to say I didn't know my dad as I was only three when he passed away,
