"Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously.
And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."
RW Emerson

So very grateful...
for 26 days of marriage to my best friend, for crisp cold weather that make fires all the more cozy, for pretty dishes to eat from and wash, for weekends of rest and Christmas shopping with The Boy, for family who still takes care of us even when we're far away, for imperfections that are covered by grace,  for clothes all clean and and neatly folded, for days spent decorating and making our little apartment feel like home, for sleepy eyed early mornings with The Boy eating breakfast and reading the Bible, for road trips with The Boy & seeing family that lives far away, for 5 weeks off of work to settle into my new life, for friends who've blessed our home with so many gifts, for a husband who daily lays down his life for me and loves me more than I could ever deserve, & for a Savior whose grace and goodness is richer and deeper than I could ever plumb the depths of.

Much Love,
Jessica Shae
p.s. and for internet in our home, finally!  now I can start blogging again :)
