Friday Fragments

This Friday Fragments was written the Friday morning after our ice storm. We had no electricity, no running water, and it was cold. I was trying to focus on the good. Each thought came to me as I was doing things, trying to clean up and make the best of it. Each thought was it's own "fragment".

I am thankful for cast iron skillets that can sit directly on hot coals and be cleaned with a paper towel.

I am thankful for friends that care.

I am thankful for a propane fireplace.

I am thankful for my house and car not sustaining any damages.

I am thankful for Rubbermade storage containers that protect food from critters while sitting out on the back porch keeping our food cold.

I am thankful for a church family that pulls together and my minister who cut me out of my driveway.

I am thankful for spaghettio's and bologna that make a great lunch and can be eaten cold.

I am thankful for clean underwear.

I am thankful for germs you can share with your family when you can't wash dishes.

I am thankful for the amazing ice cycles that are covering the trees and making my part of the world look like a winter wonderland.

I am thankful for the tinkling sound of the ice as it falls to the ground.

I am thankful for peanut butter sandwiches that we could live off of.

I am thankful for Yahtzee and Monopoly.

I am thankful for snow that melts and can be used to flush toilets.

I am thankful for having four boys that can go outside.

I am thankful for the fresh scent of pine that has filled the air from the breaking of the trees.

I am thankful for beauty in decimation.

I am thankful for blankets and warm socks.

I am thankful for the sun that finally showed this morning that warmed my face and made me laugh and let me cry.

I am most thankful for my God who continually goes before me, prepares my way and guides my step even now. There is nowhere I can go that He hasn't aready been.

Peace Out,
