January 16 - What I'm Thankful for Today

I'll start off with yesterday. Last night I was watching TV when I saw something out of the corner of my eye outside. I looked and stared as it disappeared into the trees. I must say, it was bigger than I expected, but no doubt I knew what I was looking at with that distinctive white tip on its tail. A fox. I've never seen a fox in person before so this was something for me. I hope I'll see it again. I didn't even know they were in Wisconsin. It happened too fast for me to grab my camera. Okay, for today. This is the day the LORD has made and I will REJOICE and be GLAD in it. I'm thankful I got to church this morning. I warmed up the car for a full half-hour before I left. The wind chill was -11 F. It was a good service, good interaction. I'm thankful I got all the notifications finished just now. It's wonderful spending time visiting with you. Okay, that's my day. I haven't done much more than go to church and interact here. Snow is due to start soon. That of course will make me happy. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I just opened my back door and took a photo of an evergreen tree in my yard. I thought you'd like to see it. Out my back door. Photo is mine.

@just4him Thank you. You're very welcome. I'm hoping the snow/ice will all disappear today. Our predicted temp was changed last night to 41F today. I hope it's right.

I had a fairly good morning, similar to yesterday. Prayer time was good and Bible study is in Proverbs. Solomon wrote some very wise instructions for men in Chapter two, but he didn't follow it himself.

When you look at Solomon's life through the lens of today, it doesn't look like he followed the instructions. However, men in those times were the authority in their household and whatever they did was law.

@just4him Solomon had 1,000 wives, yet he forewarned men about immoral women.

@kobesbuddy He had 300 wives and 700 concubines. They weren't all his wives. He warned his son about immoral women.

I already posted about it, but this morning's rain. And, how Chilly responded to the heavy rain and wind gusts. And, of course, my husband, George, making it home safe and sound.

I'm thankful I could go to church. Next I could progress in typing question papers. After lunch, I had a good siesta.

I'm glad to know what you did for today. I'm thankful for surviving each day. Everyday I feel some kind of difficulty. I feel a little sick or depress everyday

I often see a fox crossing our garden to reach the woods in front of us, they are cute animals.

@just4him We are close to the woods, may be it is not always the same that I see.

@LadyDuck I'm close to the woods too. I hope the animals return. The city did some construction last year and the deer disappeared. The fox makes me hopeful.

Yes, they are cute. I've learned my pool friend has one in the woods around her home.

pretty picture. You are lucky you saw a fox. I never see one in person either. A guy that lives in CT posted on his blog some pictures of foxes he had seen in person. We had snow and ice Sunday so no church service.

That would have been neat to see in person! Oh wow, negative 11 temps are awful! Hopefully it will warm up some!

We're in the positive numbers today, but it won't last. We're getting another Arctic blast this week.

That was neat that you saw that fox. There was foxes in Colorado when I lived there. We were at the park once when a fox caught a duck and took off with it. That fox was really fast.

I think fox are about everywhere. They look pretty tall but especially this time of year are almost all fur. Thankful for a good Monster today all things considered.

It was there and gone too fast to notice how much fur it had. I'm glad you had a good day with Monster.
