This is a great list, but I'm kind of fixated on #17 :)
We do OCC boxes at our church as well. I used to co-lead a girls group on Thursday nights and the night before the big pick up (our church was the drop off/pick up location for our city) were always so excited as the girls packed the cases with the shoeboxes. Always heartwarming to see how many people care about others.
I'm thankful for donuts, too :) Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Wonderful list. We did OCC, too. It is such a wonderful ministry!
What a beautiful list of things for which you are thankful. I love it!
