The Little Things

There's a day that's drawing near

When this darkness breaks to light,

And the shadows disappear

And my faith shall be my eyes.

Jesus has overcome, and the grave is overwhelmed.

The victory is won; He is risen from the dead.

And I will rise when He calls my name.

No more sorrow, no more pain!

~I Will Rise, Chris Tomlin

Today, I'm thankful for the millions of little things that bring me joy!  'Tis a looooong and quirky list, but I'll throw out a few of them here:
Getting a free cookie just for voting this year - huzzah! :)

This slightly-creepy-yet-hilarious pic Mom found on her phone (Jace took it while playing with her phone in the store)! lol

Tree-bridges, every time I see them!!

This pic from lunch at Lori's tea room with the Bower ladies today... dividing up the free cake balls so we could all try multiple flavors! :)

When Carter accidentally boxed himself into my car helping me load the Christmas decorations! lol

The Jaceman doing his little shrug-and-smile after telling us that "Joy means having a happy heart and a happy life" (or something like that).

Babybells in her favorite comfy chair! =)

The way that Fall has sprung (or fallen, whatever) lately -- all the bright reds and oranges delight my soul! :)

Seeing Chettles, Gare-Bear, and JEM after the Route 66 Half yesterday! :)

I hear a voice, and He calls me redeemed
When others say I'll never be enough.
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world!
