Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! In addition to all the big things on most of our lists, such as family, health, freedom, and Jesus, I’m also thankful for many little things that sprinkle bits of joy throughout my life, such as:

• When Brenden asks me to come play with him
• Miso soup
• When Jenny laughs so hard she can’t talk
• Getting high-def TV for free over the air
• The smell of cold
• Jonathan’s wrinkly-nose grin
• Jet airliners and their ability to shrink the world
• The beautiful park by our house
• The sound of rain
• Having much of my family close by

What are some little things you’re thankful for?
