I haven't participated in Thankful Thursday over the past few weeks. When I visited Mel's World this morning, she had her very first Thankful Thursday post. After reading her post, I decided it was time to focus on the things in my life that I have to be thankful for.
To be honest, today is "one of those days" - between the four children in my house today, there has been almost constant crying; I'm tired even though I had a little nap at nap time; it's been raining lots here since the weekend making it difficult for the kids to expel their energy outside...!
You get the picture. So, today of all days, I need to focus on what I have to be thankful for. Today I am thankful for:
- The opportunity to take care of other people's children and my new home business so I can stay at home with my children to soothe their hurts, praise their coloring masterpieces and scratch their backs among other things
- My children LOVING the "Little House on the Prairie" books that we've started reading
- God using sermons to help Jeremy & I to work through some tension in our marriage
- My amazing husband who knows how to speak my love language
- My health
- God's Word.
To join in on Thankful Thursday, visit Iris at Sting my Heart.
