Thankful again

-a two year old who has learned to love playing with rhinoceros beetles during church (many of the children tie a string around the "horn" of the beetle and swing it around as a toy, and the noise is quite distinct)

 

-creative and grateful children

 

-our new front porch rail

 

-observing the rain as it blows across the ocean toward Marulaon, obscures everything behind it, and brings life to our island

 

-puzzles (from Sarah)

 

-ice cream (from Benjamin)

 

-umalau (from Olivia)

 

-the way sunlight streams through my bedroom windows and dances on my blue walls every morning

 

-for the dehydrated and canned fruits and veggies we have in the pantry to nurture our bodies when Marulaon has no market
