Thankful Thursday

31 May


I am constantly amazed by the little miracles that I see when I take the time to stop, sit back and smell the roses. Yesterday my son asked if he could sit on my lap while he was playing with his Leapster. He is so smart! I took some time just to sit and watch him because his childlike wonder captivated me. His eyes would twinkle when he did something right and his little nose would scrunch up when things didn’t go his way. During the day I am so busy doing, that many times I neglect to watch the little things. It is my hope and prayer today that I can stop, look and listen for the little miracles around me. :)

I am thankful for

…doing well with my dental surgery and that God was with me the entire time.

…my wonderful husband, his understanding and patience mean the world to me.

…my son and his endless questions…he keeps me on my toes.

…the wonderful week I spent with Heather last week. I had a wonderful time and miss her already.

…the fact that God is becoming the forefront of my life and that His hands are on everything I touch.

…the opportunity to be home with my family each and every day.

I’ll leave you with a picture of the little cutie. ;)

    Wow he has grown! I must have some ancient picture of him stuck in my mind :) He looks so much older now.

    I did a similar thing last night when I went outside with Callie. She asked me to jump on the trampoline with her, and we played out there for the longest time. Made me thankful I pulled myself away from my laptop to go play :)

    Glad you made it through surgery — now don’t wait so long next time!!

    I have to agree with you…sometimes we rush through life and don’t take the time to just be…
