I spent the weekend with my friend, Rachel. We visited her family and had quite a delightful time. The best part was the two and a half hours we had each way driving. Why? Because we just got to talk. Sometimes all you really need is someone to talk to. And I think we were both feeling that need. So, I'm thankful for the encouragement we were able to provide each other.
I'm also thankful for safety in driving home from Des Moines today, as it began snowing shortly before 1pm. I didn't actually leave West Des Moines until about 3:30, and by then, the roads were starting to get slick and icky from the snow and cold temps. I saw three spin-out-of-control-and-crash accidents on my way home, so I'm thankful for God's protection on me and my still-new car!
And last, but not least, I, along with everyone else today, am thankful for the men and women who have devoted their lives to protecting and defending my freedom. I'm even more thankful that I have the privilege of personally knowing a handful of these wonderful people, through family and friendships. It's an honor to have you in my life!
