Gratitude

School is done for the day.

There is no rush for dinner.

I am going to catch a few minutes to sit and think past the craziness of a Monday.

#31-43

I will choose to be thankful. . .

• For God's Word that helps me to steer my children to live a life following Him.
  
• For the obnoxious alarm that woke me up this morning to spend a few moments with my Father before I met the day.
  
• For a loving, caring husband who is spending the day with his mom in the hospital waiting room while his dad has hip replacement surgery.
  
• For blue skies, bright sunshine, and billowing clouds.
  
• For flowers tenderly given by my princess and little one.
  
• For the anticipation of getting my hair done soon.
  
• For dirty nails, muddy shoes, and stained jeans that remind me that at least the outside of my house is cleaned up.
  
• For music that soothes, encourages, challenges, and blesses.
  
• For words that swim in my mind that somehow get to paper or screen.
  
• For time to actually talk with my husband about things that don't necessarily involve children.
  
• For moments of prayer with my kids this morning.
  
• For the pleasure of listening to my little one read.
  
• For the enjoyment of reading to my little one.
