Our girls are off on another adventure today. Allen took them to the train station early this morning. It was a late night before and we were a little foggy headed all around. The girls grabbed lunches and bags and I handed him his to-go cup and a slice of toast and off they went.
Later when he returned home he stopped me and said while driving home he had looked at his cup and thought, someone had gotten up before him, made him coffee and sent him off fed. It occurred to him he had not thanked me for that. He worried we might take these little things for granted. Even if they happen regularly they are no less wonderful.
He does his own wonderful things – like figuring out train tickets and handling early morning rides so I don't have to. As do our kids. And our friends. How often do we stop to tell them? To consider how those little acts of love lighten our load and brighten our days? It's not a unique problem….
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
If you have a pack of thank you notes tucked in a drawer someplace, pull one out. Tape it to the fridge. We don't need a program. Just a little reminder. It helps "make us well".
Today is a very good day to say, Thank You. I will start. Thanks to you all who have popped in to say hello or drop a note in my box. It means the world to me. God bless. : )

I say thank you to you, too. You are just lovely.
Yes, thank you to you. So many times over the years(!) you have put my thoughts and feelings into words, or you’ve said something that’s nudged me in the right direction. You are a true blessing. And I love, love, love your beautiful pictures! :o)
