1. Thank you, Lord, for this nation. As I type today's date, I cannot help but think of the tragedy that occurred 7 years ago. Let us never forget the lessons that were learned.

2. Thank you, Lord, for the seasons. The leaves (and temperatures!) are beginning to fall, and once again I'm reminded of the beauty of your creation.

3. Thank you, Lord, for our family. I am so blessed by my husband and children.
