Thankfulness

I have been feeling grateful to the Lord for so much this holiday season, I thought I would put down a few of the things I truly appreciated this last week.

Here is what I am thankful for -

1) That whichever child dropped my toothbrush in the toilet had the good sense to place it behind the toilet (for Gary to find), rather than putting it back on the counter.  THANK YOU!!

2) That my children are so very honest 'Mommy, I hit my sister with the toy on purpose', wow, that makes my life easy!

3) That one of my children always has a calm approach to disaster that causes them to run screaming in my room (while Blake is sound asleep and I am in the bathroom) to let me know that there is a tiny bug downstairs.

4) That doctor visits are always such a pleasant outing. The fact that three of my children have the opportunity to peacefully share two chairs in a small room.  That while I am talking with the doctor about Blake's health the other three can yell and pretend that monsters are hiding underneath their seats.

5) That my eldest son is so wise and practical.  Last week while watching Gary work on the car for a while Bryant decided to give him some helpful advice.  'Daddy, I have been thinking, you should just buy a new car'.

6) That our home is filled with laughter and joy! That I have four children who love to snuggle and delight in all the colors, lights, stories that this season brings. That God has so abundantly blessed us!
