Hooray for the NEW dishwasher!

So we ended up getting a new dishwasher yesterday. We were going to get just the cheapest one we could since we don't plan on staying in the house very long, Lord willing. But then in the end with the special Lowe's was running, we ended up being able to get a decent dishwasher for the same price as the cheap one...too difficult to explain here; we were just happy to have the skills to think it through and figure out the best deal. So our new fabulous dishwasher will be here sometime in the next 3 days. Seriously, isn't it funny what we take for granted? Then of course in light of what the people in Louisiana are going through, the dishwasher seems like such a trite thing. In the background this morning I heard the "Thankful" song from Madam Blueberry...the words couldn't be more appropriate:

I thank God for this day
For the sun in the sky
For my mom and my dad
For my piece of apple pie
For our home on the ground
For His love that's all around
That's why I say thanks everyday

Because a thankful heart is a happy heart
I'm glad for what I have
That's an easy way to start
For the love that He shares
'Cuz He listens to my prayers
That's why I say thanks everyday
