this week's gratitude list
(#'s 4332 - 4376)
an amazing Pop pop who is now with Jesus, but has left friends and family with so many happy memories and the example of a life lived well to the glory of God
that I was able to be home - it is not easy to lose someone you love - but it is even harder when you are so far away
that all of my children had the privilege of knowing and loving Pop pop
that Pop pop knew he'd be with Jesus
these lyrics - that make me cry and rejoice - all at the same time:
fun with cousins
strange and unusual toys to play with
munchkin squad make-overs
Legos - fun for all ages
jumping off the edge of a sand dune and feeling like you can fly - for just a moment
