January 7: giving thanks

 Today we are to give thanks for 3 graces of people we love in our lives.  I give thanks for my Husband who has been very patient with me this year as I have been exploring a deeper faith.
I give thanks for my sons, and in particular my oldest one , for the grace of debate--I find tossing ideas around to be very helpful in my learning.
And last of all , I am thankful for my 3 grand children and all the vigor of life they express, the wonder of all that is around us, and the fun part of their expressions of love and of thought. People are one of the greatest blessings and such a means of grace in our lives.
