Today, I’m thankful for Heather Cox Richardson, who interprets the news for me and others with the clear-eyed perspective of an historian. When I am struggling with existential angst about the state of the country and the world, she reassures me that it’s all happened before and we’ve lived through it.

30 Days of Thankfulness – 11/28/21

I’m thankful for Bethany Presbyterian Church – Tacoma, and all the people therein. During the pandemic they have kept me connected with the world. We now have a choice of church in person or church on line. We do Bible Study weekly, on Zoom, either in the evening or in the morning. I appreciate the choices available.

Today I’m so thankful for all the wildlife that enjoys my yard. This week I’ve been visited by the deer, a couple of squirrels, a family of raccoons and many, many birds. I have flickers, stellar blue jays, juncos, sparrows, woodpeckers, finches (gold, rosy, and plain), starlings, and flocks of bushtits, just to name a few. I LOVE this place.

Today I’m thankful for to be a Presbyterian. I know a lot of people call us the “frozen chosen”, but I don’t feel like that. I feel connected to people all over the country who are working together to be a Mathew 25 congregation. We are trying to put our energies into to valuing other people by feeding the hungry, comforting the sorrowful, and housing the homeless.

The days and days of rain here were translated to new snow on the mountains. Mt Rainier is looking like herself again, without all those ugly rocks poking through. Even some of the lower Cascades have dustings of white. The Olympics have significant snow. I’m thankful that we seem to be storing water for next summer and fall.
