Thankful

Our tummies are full, the kitchen is clean, and the kids are watching a movie. It was quiet around here today. We missed having Tony. It did give me some time to reflect on just how blessed we are.

I'm thankful for this little girl. She's full of life, often grumpy, stubborn, loooves her daddy, her best friend Joy, candy, and her princess bed.

I'm thankful for this little boy. He's smart, creative, head strong, decisive, sensitive, genuine, energetic and has the ability to make me absolutely crazy.

I'm thankful for this young lady. She's funny, getting more and more comfortable in her own skin, loves her friends, creative, and more full of potential than she'll ever know.

I'm thankful for my husband. He's smart, handsome, loving, God-fearing, wise, teachable, and hairy. :) He has helped me become a more confident and strong woman.

I'm thankful for our new house. The kitchen is wonderful to cook in. The creek is perfect for the kids. The basement perfect for all their toys. The deck is perfect for entertaining. I can relax and have a sense of peace here.

I'm thankful for my job. I'm thankful that I can minister to hurting children and their parents. I'm thankful that I am often the only light they see.

I'm thankful for my extended family. I sure missed them today. I'm thankful for our dysfunction. I'm thankful that we are beginning to be more and more
honest with each other.

I'm thankful for a loving God. Thankful for his grace. Thankful for his forgiveness.


Sometimes I loose perspective. God has blessed us immensely. And I am so thankful.
