1. I praise God for the cool, damp day we had today. It was such a refreshing day and made for a perfect evening for some more homemade stew. =)
2. I praise God for my little sister. Tomorrow is her birthday. For 25 years, I have had a built-in buddy, frenemy, partner-in-crime... the list goes on. I remember countless fights and even more nights of sharing a bed keeping the boogey man away from each other. She stood beside me at my wedding and I was with her at the hospital when she brought my nephew into this world. We have been angry with each other, laughed until we've peed our pants and found solace in each other's arms when we were sad. She is my oldest friend. I can't remember life without her and I wouldn't want imagine it any other way. It is just amazing the gift God gives in a sister.
3. I praise God that my son said "Jesus" today. I was at work and missed it, but my husband said he was talking to my son about Jesus and my son repeated His name 3 times! It really blesses my heart to know that and I am so eager to hear that beautiful name come from my precious little boy's lips. (It also blesses me to know that my husband talks about Jesus with my son.)


She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities.  She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway.  She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark.  She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink.  Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.  ~Barbara Alpert
