TO: Me FROM: Me RE: Small Voices Please make a note of the voices you hear coming from the children's bathroom while they are showering at night. They don't realize you can hear every word! You'll notice the oldest one (almost 9) is singing "The Old Rugged Cross". He's proud to have heard it in the worship service yesterday after having learned it at camp last summer. The youngest (6) is paying no attention to the fact that you don't start playing Christmas music until AFTER Thanksgiving. She's already in the holiday spirit and she's belting out "Silent Night" to prove it. Remember to be thankful for those special, small voices.
Just one thing to share this week. I couldn’t agree more!
No, Virginia, Christmas Is Not Here Yet - Eric Felten, The Wall Street Journal
Even though I will probably be late getting there this morning, I am thankful for my CBS (Community Bible Study) Class. It is a group of women committed to the Lord, learning about His word and caring for each other. It is truly my privilege to have a place like this to go each week!
See what others are thankful for today at Rebecca-Writes!
On Tuesday mornings, I have the privilege of being the PARENT LISTENER in my 1st grader’s classroom. This means that I spend 20-30 minutes listening to kids read out loud. They take great pride in sharing their abilities and I love seeing their progress from week to week. We get to talk about children’s book characters and I learn a little bit about their personalities during the few minutes I get to spend with them.
Today, I am thankful for the gift of reading. Because I can read, I enjoy endless hours of entertainment and learning that I couldn’t experience without it. Because my children can read, we share stories and time together traveling to places found only in our imaginations and the pages of books. Also, because we can read, we can learn. Being able to read means that we are never limited to what we already know.
If you are able to read, be thankful to have been given that gift. Visit Rebecca Writes to see what others are thankful for today AND figure out some way to give others this incredible gift.

Today, I am thankful for something so simple that I often take it for granted – HAVING ENOUGH! As much as there are things I would enjoy and think I need more of, there has never been a single moment of my life when I didn’t have enough – love, money, food, clothes, shelter, education.
“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”
– Phillipians 4:19
