trying to live thankful

Thankful for
  • squinched nose smiles from my 14 month old baby girl
  • the squeaky responses of "that better mommy" as desitin ointment is applied to my 2 year old son's tender places
  • wet wipes
  • 5 year old daughter telling me she has a secret to tell me and kissing me on the cheek when I bend down to ask what it is...that was it
  • 7 year old son joyfully saying that collecting the dirty laundry and sorting it, is fun
  • 9 year old daughter wanting to help make rice crispy treats for church youth dinner
  • the spatula breaking because rice crispy treats are soooo gooey...they were good
  • college girls who love us enough to show up and help us at youth dinner
  • children who beg to go to church and cry when it is time to come home
  • teen agers who are willing to play with my kids and love my kids
  • teenagers who are willing to take time to get to know us better and let us know them
  • finally in the quiet...staying up too late talking with my husband, my love...drawing us closer together...drawing us to God
