I am having to search harder and deeper for these "little things" lately. It seems bad news is abounding, but that is all the more reason to keep at it. I need to constantly remind myself that God is faithful, even in the storms of life. Here's today's list:

• 40 hands pitching in to have a clean, germ-free classroom
• "Tuesday" by David Wiesner
• a no-homework night with my husband
• power of prayer
• our pastor and church family
