30 Days of Thankfulness {Day 5}

Today I am thankful for:
- a mostly clean house from the day before
- the opportunity and blessing to open  our home to host small group
- the blessing of being "forced" to study our pastor's sermon more in depth and getting to prepare our groups discussion questions
- the feel of bread dough n my hands
- the sight of it rising on the back of my stove
- and the scent of it baking filling my house
- the smell of fresh apple pie and beef stew, also cooking at the same time
- O.'s  help in getting our home ready
- our house filling with friends for an evening of breaking bread together, getting to know each other more, and pursuing a deeper relationship with Christ
- our amazing babysitter who bravely manages all of our children, all 15 of them, ranging in age from 2 1/2 years old to almost 14. We couldn't do this without her!
