Life changes; God is constant. But we must choose to follow Him.

Daily 10---E

Here it is! :)

Easter- without Jesus dying on the cross, and raising from the dead, Christianity would not be in existence. So I owe my faith, my hope, my life to this fact. So I am thankful for Easter, not for the candy, eggs, and the bunny, but for Jesus, the true meaning of Easter.

eyes- I am so thankful for my eyes. I am so thankful that I have the ability to see, and look at all of the beauty that our earth contains.

ears- I am so thankful for my ability to hear. I am blessed to have my hearing and be able to hear all the sounds of creation that go on around me.

Esther (from the Bible)- the story of Esther is such an amazing story of courage, and strength that can only come from God. This story is such a great reminder that we can do anything through the power of Christ.

Eggs- not only are they delicious, but they are healthy as well. I am so thankful for eggs, what a great snack, meal, whatever. As we also learned in one of my classes they are also complete proteins. :)

emotions- I will admit sometimes my emotions run wild and crazy. But emotions are a good thing. They allow us to feel, and to express how we are feeling. I am so thankful for emotions because they allow us to be individuals, and also remind us how God created us to be individuals, and not a group.

Explorers- I am so thankful for explorers and the courage they had. Without them our world would not be the same as it is today.

Ear muffs- Now that I am living in a colder state I am so thankful for ear muffs. There is no greater way to keep my ears warm on those cold, windy days.

Elephants- they are such a massive, immense animal. They also show the imaginative side of God, because to think of such an animal, and then to create it, is a huge feat.

Egg plant- This is not my favorite vegetable, but it is delicious, and I am learning to love it more and more. So maybe I am more thankful for the symbol it shows to me, of growing up, and starting to like things I haven't wanted to try before. 

and 11 & 12--last but DEFINITELY- not least :)
E1 & E2- these are two of the greatest kids I know. Seriously they are like my younger siblings. I have spent lots of time with them the past couple summers, and they are wonderful kids. We have wonderful conversations, and we have many adventures :) 

Now, what are you thankful for?
