And we roll on!
Games: One of our wedding presents was a Wii. We played it this weekend, and it was so nice to have some time just devoted to having fun! We got lots of other games that we play together sometimes, and I look forward to playing with friends in our new house in the future.
Gummi Bears: So delicious and chewy :) I also loved the cartoon show- does anyone remember that?
Grace (my congregation and the thing that God gives me!): It is so great to celebrate the reformation each year and to be reminded that Grace is so key to our faith as Lutherans. God is so good. It means so much to me to know that I have God's love even when I fail and don't do what I am aiming to do. Knowing I am forgiven gives me strength to keep trying.
And Grace on 6th Avenue is pretty great, too! I love you all and so does God! I am so glad to be doing God's work and sharing God's word with you each week.

For the love...
Moving right along...it's a good day to be thankful for things here. Gorgeous leaves, warm temp, sunshine. YAY! So that makes it easy to be thankful for...
FALL: I am soaking up the amazing colors and the last days of leaved trees. God made such a beautiful world. I am in awe of the blazing colors and how they all compliment each other and the blue sky and the green grass. It is a magical time to be outside. Brian and I took Jonah for a walk at Lion's Den park in Grafton on Saturday. It was so fun to walk along the paths, crunching in the leaves and enjoying being outside before we have to bundle up in our snow suits!
FRIENDS: Okay, I know I talked about Emily in the last post. But I got to meet up with her last week on our days off and it was great. Like she said on FB, sometimes you just need to be with one of your dearest friends. And those times seem to be too few and far between for me these days, so I really appreciate it when it happens. To have someone who knows you and you can really be yourself with is such a gift. Thank you God for good friends!
FUZZY SWEATERS: That one might be a stretch for the "F" category, but it is a Monday morning and I'm not quite at full capacity :) But I've been loving lately the chance to snuggle up in some warm clothes. And talk about grateful- what a gift it is to have so many warm things to wear. At this time of year my thoughts always turn to those who don't have warm clothes or places to live, and how I can help them. The sermon yesterday was awesome, and a good reminder that by supporting our church we are a part of great ministries like Lutheran Social Services. If you didn't hear it, you should definitely listen to it. It should be up soon at http://www.gracegrafton.com/podcast/index.htm
