"What are you grateful for today?"

Thank You God for a productive in service day yesterday, for a little time to be with my writing group last night, for getting me up this morning and helping me and my wife to get done what needed to be done as our older kids and I start a new school year. Thank You for Your presence and walking with me as I prepare to get to know my new students and co-teacher for this new school year.
