1. A dry yard...so far.
2. Friends and family willing to take us in at a moment's notice, for who knows how long.
3. Safety.
4. A hard working husband and in-laws that work feverishly to protect our home and livelihood, not to mention countless neighbors and local businessmen who are hard at work as well.
5. An army of friends willing to help us move out at a moment's notice, even in the middle of the night. (No, it is not likely we will experience that kind of evacuation, if any, but it is nice to know we wouldn't have to do it all alone if it comes to that.)
6. McDonalds free wi-fi (and friends' free wi-fi--even from their driveways!)
7. A God who is at work for us and within us, even in the midst of fear, chaos, and destruction.
8. Colored post-it notes.
9. That we will not experience this kind of flood.
(A little irony here--this is my all-time favorite print and it sits on my mantle.)
10. A dry yard...so far. (Did I mention that already??)
There's always something to be thankful for. Let us be the kind of people who always find something to be thankful for, rather than the kind of people who always find something to complain about.
