"Are you grumbly hateful or humbly grateful? What's your attitude? Do you grumble and groan or let it be known that you're grateful for all God's done for you?" (from a song I learned as a child on a tape from "Back to the Creek Bank")
Today, I am thankful for:
- friends
- that my needs are met
- and so are many of my wants too
- to be able to have so many translations of the Bible and so many print copies of my own
- to live where there is freedom to worship in public
- being American
- being able to live in Taiwan
- a loving Creator God
Oh, how I remember those tapes playing over and over and over again. I remember your mother and I singing that particular song to you and your sister after those emotionally charged moments of sibling exchange. I now am thankful for two maturing young women, whom I celebrate as being my daughters.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard these tapes, but love that concept: "grumbly hateful or humbly grateful". I'll have to use that with my kiddos.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
"emotionally charged moments of sibling exchange"--that is a very poetic way of saying "fought like cats and dogs." :)
ReplyDeleteSarah and I grew up on Psalty the Singing Songbook, The Creek Bank, and Colby's Clubhouse tapes. They were great!
