1.10.11 Thanks

It's Monday night and time to link up my list of thanks for all the ways God the Father showers love to us.
We made it through the first week back to school after vacation.  I'm grateful for the love and prayers of so many friends, as I've truly felt buoyed up and hopeful instead of hopeless.
