I am thankful to the Lord, my God, for:
December 28:
- celebrating the birth of our Savior
- God's grace, mercy and forgiveness
- Christmas dinner with our family
- hubby's continuing healing from his surgery
- rain after a long dry spell
December 21:
- bringing home our cat from the vet's clinic after three days in "the hospital"
- a Christmas celebration with my work family, all of whom know the true reason for the holiday
- hubby's day by day improvement
- the tank heater that keeps the horses' water from freezing
- chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven
December 15:
- hubby's back surgery and progress
- staying overnight with my children while hubby was in the hospital
- our family's holiday traditions
- comfort food
- knowing that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him
December 8:
- a warm and sunny December day
- the horses' fuzzy winter coats
- getting home after dark, but being greeted by the animals at the gate
- the fresh, summer smell of a newly-opened bale of hay
- getting together with family to celebrate a birthday
December 1:
- our daughter-in-law and grandson are ok after their car accident
- Thanksgiving spent with family and friends
- a full table and plenty of leftovers to feed us over the weekend
- sharing the holiday with a young man from Europe, his first American Thanksgiving
- our farrier's comment that "Splash looks amazing!"

Silver Sunday
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
Luke 2:8-14 KJV
