Gratituesday: My Drive

October 12, 2009

Sometimes I find myself complaining about my drive to work. Sure, it’s about a 50 minute drive on a good day. That’s a long way! But… I only have to work three days a week, so it’s not that bad. And my mom (who lives about 10 minutes from me … on my way to work) happens to work in the same town that I do. That means that we get to share a ride to work sometimes. Talk about making the time fly!

Today I found myself alone in the van on the way home, simply enjoying the fall colors. I drive right next to the Ohio River for a good portion of the trip, and I was able to see the hillsides across the river. WOW! I would guess that about 40% of the leaves have turned shades of yellow, orange, and red. It was absolutely beautiful! God certainly knows how to paint our world with color!

So, what are you thankful for today? See what others are thankful for by heading over to Gratituesday hosted by Heavenly Homemakers.
