Tuesday: PEANUTS - yes the ones you eat. Seriously, who would have thought that nuts would make it on my grateful list. My daughter was eating a Hersey bar filled with almonds today. Yes, I had a whole row too. Then it hit me. There's tons of people who carry EpiPen's around in case they even come into contact with nuts. Some people can DIE because of nuts. I hate to realize that someone's pain in a strange sense is my gain - really - it's unfair. I feel bad for the 1000's of people who can't enjoy nuts. But here's the deal. I DO!! I ENJOY NUTS. I put them in my oatmeal every morning. I often crack them after supper. They make for a great snack. They taste great in spinach salad! I especially love cashews. Here's the truth: I could never have purchased this great pleasure, it's a divine gift. I could never have chosen to be or not to be allergic. For now, I'm not, and for that I'm so grateful.
Join the GRATEFUL REVOLUTION this Christmas!!

Due to a vacation from Facebook and Twitter over the holidays, I never posted the rest of my gratefulness list.
It included things like:
Innovative People... who create things to make a difference in the world.
Extended Family... who never hang out with me for who I am or am not (i.e. accomplishments).
Incarnation... yes, God becoming flesh and moving into the neighborhood.
