Life Is Good

This past Sunday afternoon as Jennie was heading out the door she announced that the Sunday evening meal was going to be cereal. I was a little bummed out until a few hours later when I was shoveling Frankenberry into my face.

It was a fun dinner. The kids were excited because we usually don't get the unhealthy cereals and also, for years, I'd described to them my favorite childhood cereal: Count Chocula. Even Jennie was mildly amused, enjoying her crunchy treat (likely well coated with non-nutritive cereal varnish). On bowl two, as I was finishing up the Count Chocula induced chocolaty milk, I was thinking about enjoying life and God's blessings.

Here are a few ...


* Count Chocula and Frankenberry.

* The Red Sox winning their division.

* The Red Sox ending the season with a better record than the Yankees.

* The Red Sox making the playoffs.

* Cool weather and fall football.

* Watching Josh enjoy fall football, pre-game jitters and all.







* Watching Hannah cheer for her brother and finding her niche in the 'heavy lifting' department.











* Enjoying a beautiful fall day at the farm.










* Enjoying Caleb enjoying Prophet.



* Finding solitude in the woods and communing with God on a cool fall night.

Life is Good. (sometimes)
God is Great! (always)
That makes it all worth it.

And enjoying the blessing God had given each of us along the way helps. :-)
