Thankful Thursday ~ August 7
The theme this week is Hope.
I am thankful today (Wednesday) for lots of things. I have not long got home, I'd been out for 10 hours. I took our middle daughter to a ballet event. I was thankful I got there and back safely. It wasn't an easy drive, our daughter was very excited. One the way home it was dark, but thankfully I travelled with two others, who may have stopped if something went wrong. We must have left about the same time. There were no kangaroos or wombats about.
We got to see the new library (pictured). I got done what I had to do, including buying some furry material for our second son for a costume. We were blessed to find the right colour and it was on sale. We enjoyed the shop very much, they had lots of costume items. It really broadened out outlook a bit.
Edited to say that I have been reading a book called Love's Shining Hope by JoAnn A Grote. The lady in the story collects the scriptures on hope.

I suppose it is our library but quite far away. We have a local one too that they deliver to.
