Night of Glory!!

How much better can it get than sitting in front of a wall of windows watching a beautiful lightning show with the house lights off with 5 kids! The lightning was lighting up the valley and hills and trees behind our house. The air was filled with awe and then "ooohh", "oh my gosh!" , "wow, did you see that!" Stories of old were recounted from my illustrius childhood...sitting at home during the day being afraid of a storm when I was little, the explanation of God moving His furniture for thunder, or the angels were bowling! Then when I could sense the time had come to let a good thing end before the natives got too restless.... everyone said what they were thankful for.... I got the answers God, money, friends, and even school!! But the best one was hearing Dawit say food....then adding in family! All the while I got to sit with my arm around Muluken, with Jessica on my lap. We were (are) a family. A quiet, thankful, awestruck family....No tv, no screaming and yelling, just together.

So, guess what I am thankful for.........
