Be Thankful

"Be Thankful, for all He has done.

Be Thankful, from the bottom of your heart

Be Thankful, for all He has done

'Cuz Jesus is good to meeee!"

This is my FAVORITE hymn that the little kids at our church sing.  Its soo much fun to see how excited they are when they say "THANKFUL".  (link is kids singing that song on you tube- not my church - but you get the idea!)  And I want to say that I am still on my journey during Lent of being Thankful (and still no Diet Coke - how many more days?!)  Last weekend I was Thankful I had a husband around to take care of this...

 

Oh?!  You can't see what that is hanging on my paper towel around all my dirty dishes?  Let me get you closer...

 

That's right!!  Its a bat!  A BAT!  IN OUR HOUSE!!  and I sound shocked and upset - but really its more just upset at this point b/c this is the FOURTH bat we've had in our house in the three years we have lived out here in the scary country!  They all have their exciting/entertaining story - but this is the first time the bat was 'sleeping' instead of flying at our heads so I decided to get the camera out for photographic evidence.  We got rid of him the way we normally have (minus the flying and screaming) - a net...

 

Awesome!  I was very very glad the bat didn't wake up and fly and screech at us.  We sat him outside and he slept the day away - right there on the paper towel roll until dark and "poof" we looked and he was gone.  

  

Here's hoping he didn't just fly back into our house.

One more day, one more reason I'm very Thankful that God gave me this guy...

Our Family's brave and fearless leader!  Love you honey! muah!
