Week of Graditude - Day 1

I was making my way to school today, which is an hour drive; and I was thinking. I was thinking about writing, and thanking God for the beautiful spring weather we've been having. I decided I was going to try to write at least 3 things that I am grateful for this week.
So - here goes. Everyday this week, I will be posting 3 to 5 things that I am grateful for on this day. As I was driving and thinking, I came up with a number of them - but of course by the time I've had a chance to sit down and type this out - I can only remember a few.

Day 1
1. Holy Week. I am SO thankful for the reminder of what Jesus is for us. Why God sent him to Earth. To walk among people, to live with the people. To Die for us, so we can live Free.  Thank you God.

2. Wonderful Weather.  Even though I don't get to enjoy much of it during the week, we have had a run of sun!  Loving it.  I have a friend that embarked on A Picture A Day in 2010, and then posting them on Facebook.  For the past week or so, she has been posting pictures of flowers that have been popping up in her yard - the early bloomers of the year.  I love the smell of spring.  The rebirth of the trees.  Baby ducks that I have to stop for and allow to cross the road. 


3.  Love.  I am so thankful for the love of friends.  I am.  There are so many times that I'm not feeling the bed about things, and someone will send me just the right words.  Either in person, through an email, a text, or Facebook.  Wherever it comes from, I am so thankful for it. 

So.  Here are my 3 for today.  I'm not thankful for the homework that I still have to get done tonight. :)  But, that's due to procrastination, so it's my fault and no one else's.

Blessings all!
