Gracias a Dios

Thank you Lord for traditions,

little people's giggles, 

and Fridays.

for fried salami

and Friday nights well spent

I'm grateful for sweet packages from folks I love 

and relaxing nights that smell like fall.

for my family apron

and the joy that baking gives me

for guy friends that make us laugh for days

and a Young Life team that doesn't give up

Gracias for fresh flowers on the drive

and my little mountain town.

#thankful for hashtag club

#younglifejtown 

for outrageous birthday parties,

sugar highs,

and pinatas during class

Thank you Lord for friends to do life with

and cool water to swim in.

for nights in the city, 

popcorn at the movies,

and hands to hold during the scary parts

for a new coffee "lounge" in town

and iced coffee

Thank you for students who love me well

and showing more of Yourself in everyday life.

What are you grateful for today?
