I can be honest right?... No, I
have to be honest... I didn't do so hot in the thankfulness arena this week. I don't feel like I was overly whiny or complaining. I just let a lot of time pass without purposefully focusing on ways to be thankful. I know there's so much that I miss when I'm not intentionally focusing on the many gifts that God pours out on me everyday. I also have to admit to a couple different times where the conviction to be thankful popped into my head at a very, in my mind, "inopportune" moment and my heart would cry "But LORD, how can I be thankful for this!?" But, true to His nature, He provided the grace to not only move on but to indeed find
something in which to thank Him for in the midst of the struggle. It's sad how easily I dwell in a state of unthankfulness. It's glorious however when my Great God lifts my heart out of that horrible state and reminds me of His hundreds and thousands of gifts that surround me everyday of my life!
Gifts such as....
- Feeling Baby's wiggles and even hiccups!
- An amazing husband who works all day and then comes home and makes dinner for us!
- Air conditioning
Rain, Thunder and Lightening (even in the middle of the night :D)
Bedtime Bible study, prayer, songs and verses with Daddy!
- Gods Amazing Grace!
- Playtime with Daddy!
- Toys on the floor (because it means I have children playing with them.)
- Getting to take my children to "Daddy's work" to have lunch with that wonderful man!
- Morning snuggles
- The desire and ability to get my home in order
- Days (that go by way to quickly) spent with my children
- Yummy waffles for breakfast!

| ...and even the mess to clean up afterwards! |
- Snack time! Don't think we'd make it through the day with out it :)
- Watching my children play together.
- Vegetables! And a little boy who loves them!
