Spiritual Scrapbooking

I get the magazine Today's Christian Woman which i love! (thanks Kay Lyn!) Anyway, i received my newest issue the other day and there was this little blurb about spiritual scrapbooking on the bottom of a page. It gave a few suggestions about how to incorporate your personal faith journey into your albums. one suggestion i particularly liked was to do a gratitude album. The instructions simply say to use one letter of the alphabet per page to highligh what you're thankful for. Let me back up a little bit.

Andrew has been having a pretty hard time adjusting to life in S. Texas. he doesn't feel like he fits in with the kids here because he doesn't speak the spanish language, and he's having a hard time making friends , etc. etc. The other day he had a pretty emotional melt-down and went on and on about how horrible his life was. Anyway, Richard and I talked with him for a long time and my plan is to let him do one of these album. So as i was pondering over this idea for andrew, i started thinking for myself of things that i'm thankful for. here's what my list looks like so far. Maybe you could helo me fill in the blanks...
