Today I am thankful for...

...my kids smooth transition to school. The boys have tomorrow off (extended holiday weekend) and so their first week is complete. They all love their schools, teachers, and classmates. So far things seem to be going very well.

...the routine that school brings. I love having a schedule. We all seem to do better as a family when there are consistent expectations.

...hurricane Earl coming up the coast. While I am praying for the safety of the many of people being directly affected, I am thankful for the cool weather that will come as a part of this system. We are also in need of any rain that it may produce. It is hot and dry here as it is many places right now.

...the conversation at the dinner table that was the result of talk about the coming hurricane. We were able to talk about hurricanes and tornadoes. But then we also were able to talk about the fact that no matter what is happening around us (weather or otherwise) God knows us and the number of our days. No matter when that day comes the only thing that matters is that we know God and have Him in our hearts so that we can live with Him in Heaven.
