For 13 years now I get up every morning and make lunches for the kids...by spring, I can't stand the chore...but then one day I realized how fortunate I am to have food to prepare for my kids so now, I thank God for the funniest things. I have a mantra even...thank you Father for the PBJ, thank you for my "chock full o nuts" coffee at 5am, thank you for these 15 minutes of peace before the storm, thank you for little bags of utz chips, thank you for brown paper bags...it is in all of the little, silly things that I am reminded how abundantly blessed I am by my generous holy Father. On thanksgiving, I will be thankful for the big stuff, but every day, I am thankful for the little stuff.
