Thankfulness

I'm thankful that my oven is all shiny clean now!  Its a self-cleaning oven but it seems to me that they require plenty of work to get clean despite the name.  You have to clean the parts around the door first or that part gets only hot enough to bake on rather than bake off.  Then you have to scrub the racks while the oven cleans itself.  But it looks like new now!

I'm also thankful for our pink dogwood tree.  This unusually warm spring has it looking its very best and I love it!

Finally, today I am reflecting on the love of God in sending His Son to save His people and the obedience of Christ in completing the work the Father gave Him to do.  I am humbled and thankful.
