Mark and I visited my parents over Thanksgiving. Our days were full of nothing much, quite frankly. Time for naps, watching football, taking walks, snapping photos, baking, cooking, and eating till we were about to burst. And we even got my parents' Christmas decorations up, tree and all. All in all, it was a good time and I'm glad we were able to spend it together! 
Of course what I'm most thankful for in the world is Jesus and the gift of salvation He has given so freely.
But in the spirit of Thanksgiving, here is a Top Ten of some other things I am especially thankful for this year:
1. Mark and the way he loves me
2. My family for their tremendous support
3. My friends who never stop laughing
4. My coworkers who radiate the love of Christ
5. My job which allows me to think of others rather than myself
6. The children who surround me and bring me true delight
7. My iPod, so I can jam out any ol' time I want
8. Diet Dr. Pepper that feeds my caffeine addiction
9. My space heater so I can stay warm
10. My car, that amazingly is still running after all these years
