1. Today I am thankful again for my sister-in-law, Jo. Jo told me several weeks ago that her birthday present to me was a night of babysitting so that Fred and I could go out to celebrate my birthday. We finally coordinated things for tonight and I am so thankful for Jo and her love for our kids!
2. Because of Jo's birthday gift to me, I am also thankful for taste buds. Fred and I enjoyed a delicious meal at the Mongolian Grill tonight. Yummmmm! This is one of those places where you get to create your own stir fry with your choice of ingredients and your own concoction of sauces to make the perfect stir fry! The guys manning the huge grill were feeling a bit burned tonight I think because my stir fry had hints of being over done, but it was still absolutely delicious! I'm thankful for taste!
3. I'm thankful for peace. Tonight when Fred and I walked back in the door after our evening out, it was very peaceful in the house. Jo said that she thought one of the boys was still awake, but I didn't hear anything except peace. Peacefulness in a home is one thing, but peacefulness in your heart is another. With the way world events are unfolding these days, it's easy for people to have the opposite of peace in their hearts because of all the uncertainty, but if you have Christ in your heart, controlling your life, you can have peace even in the middle of the worst storm! I'm thankful for peace in our home, in our hearts and in our lives because of Jesus!
PS I'm also thankful that today is Election Day so that this circus of campaigning can finally end!!

Martha, my e-mail is sixfultons@comcast.net. We do lots of gluten-free and I have some terrific resources. E-mail me and I will share!
Jo sounds like a gem! I'm glad you had a night out, and not just grocery shopping.
Glad elections are over, too. However, in the past 2 days, I've hung up three times on our soon-to-be new president when he called!! I should have recorded him for future historians. On the other hand, I also hung up on Hillary C., and Rudy Guliani (sp?) also during this election. Sure glad it's all over, and still in God's hands.
I just met Jo on Sunday--she's really nice!
Sounds like a dream-come-true! I don't have a sister-in-law that wants to care for my kids, but often in church Vivi or Emilia take over to give me a breather so I can talk to others and Rosa has Edson some nights at her house. Jason has taken care of the "BIG" boys on Saturday nights when they want to stay overnight near church. Our "moments together" are mostly over a guampa and a pitcher full of icy-mint water.
