Joy for Joi, week 5

"When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude."  -- G.K. Chesterton

Once again I'm taking Joi/Thursday to write the things I am thankful for, as part of the Joy Dare, inspired by Ann Voskamp.  It has been a relatively quiet week, and another blustery, cold week, but there is still much to praise God for, such as...

+ coming in one night and finding that these little guys had decided to snuggle in together:

+ watching the kids make Valentine's for each other and Daddy, and me, and Miss Tania

+ some yummy food creations (including creamy potato-cabbage soup, honey-chicken and slaw pita pockets, mediterranean tuna-pasta dish, and coconut-chocolate-peanut-butter oat bars)
 
+ watching the National Prayer Breakfast speech by Eric Metaxas with Strider (We loved it!  Here's a link -- it starts at minute 35.)

+ Russian-speaking friends helping us communicate with taxi companies on the phone

+ listening to Jonathan Park CD's all of us snuggled on my bed

+ hearing about a Moldovan woman's faith in the midst of health crisis

+ learning again that first impressions about people are not often right

+ towel warmers
and
+ getting the kids outside again finally!
