From Here to There . . .

Today is the final day of the November Challenge.  I have already begun to put your lists together and expect to begin sending them this evening.  Since I don't have my laptop for the moment, I've gone to AOL through IE at work and yesterday I printed up 7 pages of gratitude!!  You guys are good! 

We've been having lots of computer problems here at the Perez house.  The computer Andrea uses won't recognize the Internet, my poor laptop needs ICU and Rob is having to let me use his computer to do my journal, read my mail, etc.  I am so far behind!  Your journals are important to me, but I haven't been able to comment as much as I want this week.  Have patience with me, guys.  I'm still here.

I am grateful today for those of you who have been open enough to share your gratitude with me.  When we were in Mexico, each year I would ask the children in our care what they were grateful for.  Then I would send their gratitude list out to our friends and supporters.  It was my favorite letter of the year.  Those kids were grateful for the most wonderful things - mostly having to do with their families and the Lord.  Since I have left, that letter is not mine to do and I miss it.  I guess that's one of the things that got me thinking of this challenge.  Could we find something to be grateful for every day?  Yes, we can.  Maybe I will come up with something different for December.  What do you think?  Would you like a December challenge leading up to Christmas?  If you would, send any ideas you have to me in an e-mail to firestormkids04@aol.com .  

Blessings to you all,

  Penny:  Maybe we can go down memory lane in December and recall happy Christmas memories.  In just a few seconds I thought of four special moments from Christmases past.
