Happy Birthday, Gussy! I’m thankful for so much, it’s hard to pick just one this morning – but I’m gonna have to go with the fact that we serve a creative God. He could’ve just set the world in motion and called it “good,” but He poured His creative heart into His work, into His creation, into us! And now as image-bearers, we get to reflect that creativity back in what we make, what we write, what we do, and even in how we interact with others! How wonderful that we’re not robots – so, yes – I’m thankful for God’s creative heart and mind!

I’m also thankful that on Saturday, my husband begins a four week sabbatical from his job which allows us to spend four weeks sitting by a lake. I’m so excited I can hardly stand it!
